17-Across: "Some basic guidelines [2, Spanish]" starts with DOS (Spanish for 2)
26-Across: "Fluorescent gemstone [4, Danish and Norwegian]" starts with FIRE (4 in Danish and Norwegian)
44-Across: "Chemist who co-discovered 26-Down [8, Italian]" starts with OTTO (8 in Italian)
52-Across: "Carpe diem [16, French]" starts with SEIZE (16 in French)

So the numbers 2, 4, 8, 16 represent a SERIES based on different languages around the WORLD.

Sometimes, in crosswords, specific knowledge works to your detriment. The "series" here (2, 4, 8, 16) is called a Geometric Sequence, or Geometric Progression. A Geometric Series is different — it's the sum of the sequence.

The trick is to not be so damn picky and realize common usage, even if technically incorrect, is legitimate in crosswords. So grab some CBD OIL and chill out.

DOUBLE REVERSE here means that both sets of grayed letters in each theme answer must be reversed to match the clue. So, CRUELLA becomes CURE-ALL, GLOATS becomes GO LAST, etc. Answers below the grid have been fixed up.
