Shock about European legal process (6)
I believe the answer is:
appeal
'shock about european legal process' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'shock about european' is the wordplay.
'shock' becomes 'appal' (synonyms).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'appal' placed around 'e' is 'APPEAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appeal that I've seen before include "Petition or attraction" , "Try to have a court case reheard" , "prayer" , "Earnest or urgent request" , "Request hearing of higher court" .)
