Meetings that put saints on trial (6)
I believe the answer is:
trysts
'meetings that' is the definition.
'trysts' can be an answer for 'meetings' (tryst is a kind of meeting). I am not certain of the rest of the definition.
'saints on trial' is the wordplay.
'saints' becomes 'sts'.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'trial' becomes 'try'.
'sts' put after 'try' is 'TRYSTS'.
'put' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trysts that I've seen before include "Lovers' meetings" , "'Assignations, romantic meetings (6)'" , "Lover's appointments" , "Lovers' assignations" , "dates" .)
