Loudly discussing Eucharist ‘as a body’ (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
en masse
'as a body' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'loudly discussing eucharist' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'eucharist' could be 'mass' (I've seen this before) and 'mass' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ene' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for en masse that I've seen before include "Many as one" , "in concert" , "All together as a group" , "Sees man (anag.)" , "as a bunch" .)
