Have just realised I missed one in today's puzzle and my brain's seized up.
25 A. Opera supplied openings in Rome (6)
-e-ora
I'll be eternally grateful to anyone who can help.

fedora

Thanks, Paul - I see the 'fed'(supplied) part, but the rest of the wordplay/clue eludes me! I've put 'fedora' in.

ora in Latin means,i think, something like 'the mouths of'.
(orifice,oral are from same root as i guess)

Yes, "ora" is the plural from of "os" which means an opening to a passage n the body - derived from the Latin. Devillish indeed!

I guess "eternal gratitude" is the only response appropriate re the "Eternal City"!

Thanks, Paul and Trevor - your explanations were really helpful. I always like to know the reasoning behind an answer.
