Made to comprehend English degree without Latin (6)
I believe the answer is:
earned
'made' is the definition.
(as in making money)
'comprehend english degree without latin' is the wordplay.
'comprehend' becomes 'learn' (comprehend can mean to learn or understand).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'degree' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for the degree in measuring angles).
'without' suggests deleting specific letters.
'latin' becomes 'l'.
'learn'+'e'+'d'='learned'
'learned' with 'l' removed is 'EARNED'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for earned that I've seen before include "Neared (anag.)" , "Worked for and gained" , "Got from paid employment merited" , "Took home" , "Received money for work" .)
