Romance comes by way of getting a kiss (3)
I believe the answer is:
sex
'romance' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'by way of getting a kiss' is the wordplay.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'way of getting' becomes 'se' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'se'+'x' is 'SEX'.
'comes' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sex that I've seen before include "This symbol is epitome of glamour" , "Expert in the treatment of coital problems" , "Gender" , "VI (Lat.); m. or f." , "Male or female" .)
