Male-centred sporting policy associated with certain games (7)
I believe the answer is:
olympic
'associated with certain games' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally define each other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for olympic that I've seen before include "It may precede record" , "International sporting event" , "of champion" , "re situation in Greece" , "International athletic event" .)
