Concerning

Answer:

INRE

Hint:

Think of a two-word phrase often seen in formal letters or legal documents that means "about" or "regarding the matter of."

Explanation:

"Concerning" here is a hint to think of a phrase meaning "about" or "regarding." The answer "INRE" is a Latin preposition that fits this meaning—it translates directly to "in the matter of" or "concerning." Crossword clues often use Latin or archaic terms like this for short, precise answers, so it’s not about the word sounding familiar but about its literal definition. The brevity of the answer also matches the clue’s straightforward tone.
