Represent content of new script briefly? (6)
I believe the answer is:
precis
'represent content of new script briefly?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'represent content of new script briefly?' is the wordplay.
'represent' is an anagram indicator.
'content of' means to look at the middle letters.
'briefly?' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'briefly' mean this).
The middle letter of 'new' is 'e'.
'script' with its final letter taken away is 'scrip'.
'e'+'scrip'='escrip'
'escrip' anagrammed gives 'PRECIS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for precis that I've seen before include "Summary of the main points" , "Cripes, what a summary!" , "Prices for abbreviated version" , "Abstract; make summary (of text)" , "Digest - summary" .)
