Some metropolitan trickery to do with sacred writings (7)
I believe the answer is:
tantric
'some metropolitan trickery to do with sacred writings' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'some metropolitan trickery to' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'TANTRIC' can be found hidden inside 'metropolitan trickery to'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tantric that I've seen before include "Type of Buddhism" , "Relating to Hindu or Buddhist mystical texts" , "referring to some teachings" , "of meditating?" , "Coming from religious writing" .)
