Receive note about a Zulu (7)
I believe the answer is:
gazette
'receive note about a zulu' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'receive note about a zulu' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'note' could be 'te' (musical note) and 'te' is found within the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'zulu' could be 'z' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'z' is found in the answer.
'receive' could be 'get' (synonyms) and 'get' is found within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gazette that I've seen before include "Official publication" , "Official newspaper" , "Official journal that contains public notices" , "paper" , "Newspaper title" .)
