Article about nobleman provides record of events (7)
I believe the answer is:
account
'record of events' is the definition.
'account' can be an answer for 'record' (account is a kind of record). I'm not sure about the 'of events' bit.
'article about nobleman' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'nobleman' becomes 'count' (count is a kind of nobleman).
'a'+'c'+'count'='ACCOUNT'
'provides' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for account that I've seen before include "Financial statement" , "Description; importance" , "Bank record" , "Record of receipts and expenditure" , "Bill - relation" .)
