On a restored Degas, remarks we've heard often before (6)
I believe the answer is:
adages
'remarks we've heard often before' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'on a restored degas' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'restored' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'degas' is an anagram of 'adges'.
'a' put within 'adges' is 'ADAGES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adages that I've seen before include "Much-used wise sayings" , "Proverbs from sad age" , "Aphorisms" , "Old sayings or maxims" , "Old familiar sayings" .)
