Revise text about epitaph during holiday (8)
I believe the answer is:
rescript
'revise text' is the definition.
'rescript' can be an answer for 'revise' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'text' bit.
'about epitaph during holiday' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'epitaph' becomes 'RIP' (rest in peace).
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'holiday' becomes 'rest' (rest can mean a holiday or break).
'c'+'rip'='crip'
'crip' inserted within 'rest' is 'RESCRIPT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for rescript that I've seen is " Assign new lines".)
