Ah, no para used in grammar to explain a word by prior words (8)
I believe the answer is:
anaphora
'grammar to explain a word by prior words' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'ah no para used' is the wordplay.
'used' is an anagram indicator.
'ah'+'no'+'para'='ahnopara'
'ahnopara' with letters rearranged gives 'ANAPHORA'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for anaphora that I've seen is " part of the Eucharist".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
