After day in prison, European intended to ignore a verdict (9)
I believe the answer is:
judgement
'verdict' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'after day in prison european intended to ignore a' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'day in prison european' becomes 'judge' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'intended' becomes 'meant' (meaning is a kind of intending).
'to ignore' is a deletion indicator.
'meant' with 'a' removed is 'ment'.
'judge'+'ment' is 'JUDGEMENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for judgement that I've seen before include "Rating" , "Opinion" , "Court ruling" , "Discrimination" .)
