Yes, Italian character receives good endorsement (9)
I believe the answer is:
signature
'endorsement' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'yes italian character receives good' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'italian' could be 'i' (abbreviation for Italian) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'character' could be 'nature' (I've seen this before) and 'nature' is found in the answer.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is present in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for signature that I've seen before include "distinctive style" , "X-WORD ?" , "Distinctive mark" , "Personal mark" , "Distinctive way of writing name" .)
