Speeches that close with pious elegy, mostly moving (9)
I believe the answer is:
epilogues
'speeches that close' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'pious elegy mostly moving' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'moving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pious'+'elegy'='piouselegy'
'piouselegy' with its final letter taken away is 'piouseleg'.
'piouseleg' with letters rearranged gives 'EPILOGUES'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epilogues that I've seen before include "conclusions" , "they follow" , "These finish off" , "final thoughts" .)
