Across 5. C.(6. ?O?D?M.
(The clue is just the letter C, but it looks like a kind of cedilla on the end of the `C`, could be a typo, most challenging).

condom?

Condom ?

[stuckontwo]

It might be condom, guys, thanks, but how does it answer the clue? Thanks.

[cupid04]

Your turn balders, lol! Tell 'em how it fits...

[Mamyalynne]

Is it a Cedilla?

Ç

[stuckontwo]

Yes, or very similar

[Mamyalynne]

Condom would work then if that mark was known as a 'dom'

C on dom


But I can't find any reference to that.

Snugly Cupid!

[cupid04]

Lol!

[Baldric]

The only 3 words that my spellcheck produced were;

CONDOM, DOGDOM and GODDAM.

Yes, it was a `letter C`with a little cedille, a French gramattical/orthographical device. French Letter. Condom. Thanks again, folks.

I hang my head in shame for not seeing the parse!!


Thanks for the feedback.
