Need help with parsing, please.
1ac (4) Security word for addressing old lady? B? N? . Obviously bond for security. Don't understand the rest of the clue.

Thank you!

Sorry Xerxes, you have made me think again. Am now sure the answer is bank, which I'll check when published on Saturday. Thank you!

Hello, Mildred!
Could you publish the answer when you get it, please, to satisfy my curiosity?
I'd still bank on "bank" being the answer!

Will do! I'm now sure it's bank. When you replied, you opened with the word "Bank", and what wits I still have weren't about me!
I've taken a note to publish.
