The days of some wild desire (4)
I believe the answer is:
ides
This clue could be a double definition.
'the days of' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'wild desire' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'some' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ides that I've seen before include "Day in Roman months" , "15 March, say -- key date for Caesar" , "Orfes" , "Julius Caesar was killed during the . . . . of March" , "mid-month for the Romans" .)
