The rights and wrongs of manuscript about examination (6)
I believe the answer is:
morals
'the rights and wrongs' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'manuscript about examination' is the wordplay.
'manuscript' becomes 'ms' (abbreviation for manuscript).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'examination' becomes 'oral' (oral is a kind of examination).
'ms' enclosing 'oral' is 'MORALS'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for morals that I've seen before include "Ethical motives" , "Standards of behaviour" , "High principles or ethics" , "code?" , "Principles based on right and wrong" .)
