Are we talking about the same clue?

1d Summons cut and used in the Vatican (6) D?C?E?

Cut = Dock

And used in Vatican (In Italian) = Et

How did you get 'Decree' as the answer?

Hi Malone, why is everyone saying I've given the wrong answer? I'm totally confused!

Brendan, I'm stuck as to where the "t" comes from?
Docket = summons (def)
dock - cut
e - and (in Italian )

but the "t"?

Hi Elle, Malone's already explained that "and" in Latin is ET.

(Although I've been told Docket is wrong. I don't think it is, but you never know:-)

Brendan, I didn't notice people saying yours was wrong - but I spotted the erroneous 'decree'. My post was because you'd wondered about the Et in 'Docket'.

Malone, re your post @10...
Ah , thank you!
I didn't think of its being Latin…. that explains the "t"!
I was going with the Italian!

Hi Elle, hi Malone. Thanks for clearing that up, I felt like i'd slipped in to an alternative reality:-)

A parallel universe, Brendan ?
I know the feeling!
I can't believe I couldn't see beyond the Italian "e"……!
