<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">religious community</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(community of nuns)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for nunnery that I've seen before include "Religious establishment" , "Hamlet to Ophelia: 'Get thee to a . . . . . . .'" , "Female religious house" , "Convent" , "Religious house for females" .)
