stapes?

Ignore my answer-senior moment

patriot-knock off pat=riot+er

[doctordolittle]

And I assume means 'namely outgrowths' somehow?

[scorpiojo]

^ sorry, can't help with namely outgrowths

[scorpiojo]

Outgrowths as in scales?

[doctordolittle]

Rioter is patriot minus pat meaning tap, and little hesitation is er

[quinie]

Meant to say shrug off pat(knock)

[doctordolittle]

I'll buy scalae as sounds like scaly which is an outgrowth

This leaves me one final clue

Taking everything into account, Lord ignored spurious piece of text (5) a l - t o is surely all to but the derivation eludes me

[scorpiojo]

All-to meaning 'spurious' all told - Ld

[slaney]

Taking everything into account =All-told, minus ld(lord)
All-to Spurious text

Thanks everyone
