Lied about where cheese comes from? (4)
I believe the answer is:
deli
'where cheese comes from?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'lied about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'lied' with letters rearranged gives 'DELI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deli that I've seen before include "Shop selling processed food products" , "Special shop" , "Specialist foodshop(abbr.)" , "Fine-food store" , "place to buy food" .)
