Word of praise (7)
I believe the answer is:
hosanna
This clue might be a double definition.
'word' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'praise' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hosanna that I've seen before include "shout in adoration" , "Cry of religious adoration, often in the highest" , "A cry of praise to God, from Hebrew" , "Cry of praise or joy" , "Said in praise of God" .)
