Marconi perhaps is derived from Latin (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

romanic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'derived from latin' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'marconi perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'marconi' is an anagram of 'ROMANIC'.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for romanic that I've seen before include "Italian etc." , "type of language" , "Like Spanish" , "Ancient European" , "Like Latin" .)
