New area, maybe, for a change of holiday? (6)
I believe the answer is:
forest
'new area' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'for a change of holiday?' is the wordplay.
'for a change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'holiday?' becomes 'rest' (rest can mean a holiday or break).
'of' is an anagram of 'fo'.
'fo'+'rest'='FOREST'
'maybe' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forest that I've seen before include "Tree-covered area" , "that has branches everywhere" , "Dense woodland" , "eg Sherwood" , "Area thick with trees" .)
