Romantic grasped style, doffing cap (6)
I believe the answer is:
gothic
'romantic' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'grasped style doffing cap' is the wordplay.
'grasped' becomes 'got' (I've seen this in another clue).
'style' becomes 'chic' (chic can mean elegance or style).
'doffing cap' means to remove the first letter (the word's head or 'cap' is removed).
'chic' with its first letter removed is 'hic'.
'got'+'hic'='GOTHIC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gothic that I've seen before include "Pointed-arch style" , "Style of e.g. Notre-Dame, Chartres" , "horrifying" , "Architectural style in Europe 12th-16th centuries" , "Style of mediaeval architecture" .)
