Write notes repeatedly about a private conversation (4-1-4)
I believe the answer is:
tete-a-tete
'private conversation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'write notes repeatedly about a' is the wordplay.
'write notes' becomes 'tete' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'repeatedly' indicates the doubling of some letters.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tete' duplicated is 'tetetete'.
'tetetete' going around 'a' is 'TETE-A-TETE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tete-a-tete that I've seen before include "One-to-one meeting" , "Private couple's conversation" , "Private conversation between two people as in France" , "Informal chat" , "Private meeting" .)
