Repeatedly copied note about a private talk (4-1-4)
I believe the answer is:
tete-a-tete
'private talk' is the definition.
(a tete-a-tete is a talk between two people)
'repeatedly copied note about a' is the wordplay.
'repeatedly' says to double the letters.
'copied note' becomes 'tete' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'tete' doubled is 'tetetete'.
'tetetete' enclosing 'a' is 'TETE-A-TETE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tete-a-tete that I've seen before include "Private couple's conversation" , "Private meeting" , "Informal chat" , "Private conversation between two French people" , "Private conversation between two people as in France" .)
