Sorry guys, I'm still stuck with 9a Cheap, silly rings he passed on (3-3) I can see it must be two-bit (cheap) but how is it parsed?
Thanks in advance. BTW it would also be great if the compiler for these puzzles would give a web service explaining how the answers are formed, so we can all learn the different methods.

Twit - silly - around ob (obiit Latin died)

Silly = TWIT around OB, Latin for he died.
