Elevated rumours about start of sex or congress? (7)
I believe the answer is:
session
'congress?' is the definition.
(I know that session is a type of congress)
'elevated rumours about start of sex' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for session that I've seen before include "Period devoted to an activity" , "School term" , "Meeting devoted to a particular purpose" , "Parliamentary period" , "Time in legislature" .)
