Pa’s a rogue, appalling the High Court? (9)
I believe the answer is:
areopagus
'high court?' is the definition.
'areopagus' can be an answer for 'court?' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'high' bit.
'pa's a rogue appalling' is the wordplay.
'appalling' indicates anagramming the letters (an appalling spelling of the letters).
'pas'+'a'+'rogue'='pasarogue'
'pasarogue' is an anagram of 'AREOPAGUS'.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for areopagus that I've seen before include "Ancient Greek court; ago, as pure (anag.)" , "Athenian court" .)
