<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">seraglios</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('harem' can be a synonym of 'seraglio')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for harems that I've seen before include "quarters reserved for females" , "Seraglios, women's quarters in Muslim household" , "Masher found in quarters of Muslim women" , "Wives' associations" .)
