Reportedly excited after misdemeanour in place of worship (9)
I believe the answer is:
synagogue
'place of worship' is the definition.
(I know that synagogue is a place of worship)
'reportedly excited after misdemeanour' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'excited' could be 'agog' (similar in meaning) and 'agog' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for synagogue that I've seen before include "Place of worship for Jewish congregation" , "religious building" , "Worshippers" , "religious assembly" , "A building for public Jewish worship" .)
