Was interrogating curtailed for the screen? (6)
I believe the answer is:
grille
'the screen?' is the definition.
(screen of bars which can be looked through)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grille that I've seen before include "Frame of bars" , "part of the barbecue" , "It affords ventilation" , "Protective metal framework" , "Metal lattice" .)
