Political community to record first yearbook tribute (6)
I believe the answer is:
eulogy
'tribute' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'political community to record first yearbook' is the wordplay.
'political community' becomes 'eu' (European Union, a community of nations. I am not sure about the 'political' bit.).
'to record' becomes 'log' (log is a kind of record).
'first yearbook' becomes 'y' (est letter of 'yearbook').
'eu'+'log'+'y'='EULOGY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eulogy that I've seen before include "Funeral oration" , "Funeral speech" , "Speech highly praising someone" , "'Encomium, paean (6)'" , "Speech or piece of writing that praises highly" .)
