Can someone parse "eleven" for me please?

[belido]

Is it because it's the eleventh chapter of the epistle? What does the reference to boxing mean?

[Captain2]

Roman 11 = 'XI' involved in boXIng

[belido]

Ah! Thank you so much Captain2 that solves it. I've been perplexed by that all day.

Can you parse 'escalate' please?

[scorpiojo]

Estate (grounds) around ca (about) + L (50)exchanged (for the first) t(ime)

[Neveracrossword]

Estate = grounds. Take out the first T and replace it with CA, circa, about, Latin + L, 50, Roman numeral. Es ca l ate., Escalate, mount, increase.
