G&S taken aback about a Parisian that's performed in G&S? (4)
I believe the answer is:
sung
'performed in gs?' is the definition.
'sung' can be an answer for 'performed' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'in gs?' bit.
'gs taken aback about a parisian' is the wordplay.
'taken aback' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'a parisian' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'gs' back-to-front is 'sg'.
'sg' placed around 'un' is 'SUNG'.
'that's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sung that I've seen before include "Celebrated dynasty" , "Performed vocally; Chinese dynasty" , "Chinese dynasty; uttered melodiously" .)
