Storms penetrating sheltered zone? Here’s the small print on policy (8)
I believe the answer is:
legalese
'the small print on policy' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'storms penetrating sheltered zone?' is the wordplay.
'storms' becomes 'gales' (I've seen this in another clue).
'penetrating' is an insertion indicator.
'sheltered zone?' becomes 'lee' (the side sheltered from wind).
'gales' placed within 'lee' is 'LEGALESE'.
'here's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legalese that I've seen before include "Special terms" , "contract wording?" , "barman's peculiar words" , "such language at the bar!" , "Solicitor's jargon" .)
