Tailors around close to Royal Academy's area (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
fine arts
'royal academy's area' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'tailors around close' is the wordplay.
'tailors' becomes 'fits' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'close' becomes 'near' (similar in meaning).
'fits' going around 'near' is 'FINE ARTS'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fine arts that I've seen before include "Those appreciated for their beauty" , "Painting, music etc" , "Fan tries to get painting sculpture etc" , "sophisticate's bag" , "Aesthetic realm" .)
