Returning with a woman: fifty, olive-skinned and brown-eyed? (5)
I believe the answer is:
latin
'olive-skinned and brown-eyed?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'returning with a woman fifty' is the wordplay.
'returning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a woman' becomes 'nita' ().
'fifty' becomes 'L' (Roman numeral).
'nita' put next to 'l' is 'nital'.
'nital' back-to-front is 'LATIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for latin that I've seen before include "Language of ancient Rome" , "The language of old Rome" , "foreign language" , "ancient tongue" , "Language of old Romans" .)
