Control centre to work originally over start and end of Easter (5)
I believe the answer is:
tower
'control centre' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'to work originally over start and end of easter' is the wordplay.
'originally' suggests taking the first letters.
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'start and end of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the first and last letter remain).
'easter' with its centre removed is 'er'.
The initial letter of 'work' is 'w'.
'to'+'w'+'er'='TOWER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tower that I've seen before include "Drawer" , "One to pull" , "Campanile, spire etc" , "Tall structure" , "Reach high" .)
