What was heard in Rome and a quarter of Paris? (5)
I believe the answer is:
latin
'a quarter of paris?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'what was heard in rome' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'lat' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for latin that I've seen before include "A Romance language" , "The language of Virgil" , "Language of old 8 down" , "Language of old Romans" , "language class" .)
