Remedies for distant Old English translation (9)
I believe the answer is:
antidotes
'remedies' is the definition.
(I know this)
'distant old english translation' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'translation' indicates an anagram.
'distant'+'o'+'e'='distantoe'
'distantoe' is an anagram of 'ANTIDOTES'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for antidotes that I've seen before include "Remedies" , "Cures for poisons" , "Counteractions to poisons" .)
