Let’s find the answers to Chatter involving defrocked Lima bishop? for the July 16, 2024 edition of crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 7 letters. Start with P and end with E, and the possible solutions are PROXIME, PROZONE, PRIMATE.

The answer is PRIMATE.

"Chatter involving defrocked Lima bishop?" leads to the answer "PRIMATE." The clue can be broken down for better understanding. The word "chatter" suggests "prate," which means to talk at length in a foolish or inconsequential way. The phrase "involving defrocked" indicates that we need to remove or change something within the clue.

"Lima bishop" refers to the word "primate," which is a senior bishop in certain Christian churches. When we take "prate" and involve a "defrocked" or removed letter "I" (for Lima in the NATO phonetic alphabet), we get "prate" with "I" added, forming "PRIMATE." Thus, the wordplay involves combining "prate" (chatter) with an added "I" to form the final answer "PRIMATE," which is also a term for a high-ranking bishop, fitting the definition part of the clue.
