Do for one bishop and cleric, looking back (4)
I believe the answer is:
verb
'do' is the 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?
'one bishop and cleric looking back' is the wordplay.
'one bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'cleric' becomes 'Rev' (abbreviation for Reverend).
'looking back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'rev' reversed gives 'ver'.
'b' put after 'ver' is 'VERB'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for verb that I've seen before include "Part of speech" , "The predicate of a sentence" , "love, for example" , "Predicate of a sentance (4)" , "Word such as run, make, or do" .)
