Series of prayers offered by divine messenger in America (7)
I believe the answer is:
angelus
'series of prayers' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'by divine messenger in america' is the wordplay.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'divine messenger' becomes 'angel' (I've seen this before).
'in america' becomes 'U.S.' ('US' is part of 'america').
'angel' put next to 'us' is 'ANGELUS'.
'offered' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for angelus that I've seen before include "RC prayer, its bell" , "Church bell" , "(Bell calling Catholics to) prayer" , "Traditional Irish prayer at noon" , "Short Catholic devotion" .)
