armour

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'protection' is the definition.
(armour protects a warrior)

'romeo barging into affair in paris' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'romeo' could be 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'affair' could be 'amour' (amour can mean a love affair) and 'amour' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
