Wise words on the sins of modern times (6)
I believe the answer is:
advice
'wise words' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'on the sins of modern times' is the wordplay.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the sins of' becomes 'vice' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'modern times' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'vice' after 'ad' is 'ADVICE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for advice that I've seen before include "Proposal for an appropriate course of action" , "Opinion given about what to do" , "Suggestion for appropriate course of action" , "Formal notice" , "Supposedly wise words" .)
