Swiss community not finishing part of poem (5)
I believe the answer is:
canto
'part of poem' is the definition.
(a canto is a part of a long poem)
'swiss community not finishing' is the wordplay.
'swiss community' becomes 'cant' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'not' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'finishing' says to put letters next to each other.
'cant'+'o'='CANTO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for canto that I've seen before include "Division of e.g. Dante's Inferno" , "part of long poem" , "piece of poetry" , "melodic piece of music" , "Main division of long poem" .)
