Grocer taking off sides with a chap in court (7)
I believe the answer is:
romance
'court' is the definition.
(I know that court can be written as romance)
'grocer taking off sides with a chap' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for romance that I've seen before include "Novel (or often its main theme)" , "Novel - love story" , "(Wonderful) piece of fiction" , "Cameron (anag) - love story" , "marriage?" .)
