Pleasant new English description of a creed (6)
I believe the answer is:
nicene
'description of a creed' is the definition.
'Nicene' can be an answer for 'creed' (Nicene Creed is an example). I am unsure of the 'description of a' bit.
'pleasant new english' is the wordplay.
'pleasant' becomes 'nice' (associated in meaning).
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'nice'+'n'+'e'='NICENE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nicene that I've seen before include "The -- Creed, a Christian profession of faith" , "Christian Creed adopted in 325 a.d." , "This Creed is a formal statement of Christian belief from 4th century" , "Like creed" , "Council's description" .)
