Almost the end of the match? (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
decree nisi
'match?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for decree nisi that I've seen before include "Separation agreement" , "Provisional divorce order" , "Provisional divorce document" , "Judicial order" , "court order" .)
