Batch of new recruits from Coventry? (5)
I believe the answer is:
entry
'batch of new recruits' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'coventry?' is the wordplay.
'ENTRY' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for entry that I've seen before include "Access point" , "Debut" , "One in competition" , "candidate" , "Admission" .)
