'opinion' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'english ring girl held' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'ring' becomes 'dial' (as in dialling a phone).
'girl' becomes 'tori' ().
'held' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dial' going around 'tori' is 'ditorial'.
'e'+'ditorial'='EDITORIAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for editorial that I've seen before include "bit of paper" , "Article expressing the views of the publication" , "considered view on paper" , "leader, perhaps" , "Article that states a newspaper's opinion" .)
