Significant hint in Arbuthnot epistle (4)
I believe the answer is:
note
'significant hint' is the definition.
'note' can be an answer for 'hint' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'significant' bit.
'in arbuthnot epistle' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'NOTE' can be found hidden inside 'arbuthnot epistle'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for note that I've seen before include "Make a record of" , "Quaver, say" , "A piece of paper money" , "Short written message" , "mention" .)
