Title typically abbreviated to its first and last letters
Answer:
SENOR
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue plays on how some titles get shortened in writing. "Señor," the Spanish word for "mister," is often abbreviated as "Sr."—taking just its first and last letters. The clue hints at this by asking for a title reduced to those two letters, leading to the full word "SEÑOR" (spelled without the Ñ in crosswords). It’s a straightforward abbreviation trick common in puzzle clues.
