English in shelters? I am surprised! (7)
I believe the answer is:
heavens
'english' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'in shelters? i am surprised' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'shelters?' becomes 'havens' (haven is a kind of shelter).
'i am surprised' becomes 'e' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'havens' enclosing 'e' is 'HEAVENS'.
(Other definitions for heavens that I've seen before include "Expression of surprise" , "Gosh!" , "Expression of astonishment" , "Exclamation of surprise" , "Places of supreme happiness" .)
