Measured by side of Milan, reasonably loud houses like this (2,5,2)
I believe the answer is:
in terms of
'measured by side' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'milan reasonably loud houses like this' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'loud' could be 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music) and 'f' is located in the answer.
'like this' could be 'so' and 'so' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
