Place of labour? (5)
I believe the answer is:
natal
This might be a double definition.
'place' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of labour?' is the second definition.
(relating to childbirth or labour)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for natal that I've seen before include "Province of South Africa" , "Pertaining to birth" , "former SA province" , "Relating to the time of one's birth" , "Of or from one's birth - in S African province" .)
