A construction of Naples paddler regularly visited? (9)
I believe the answer is:
esplanade
'a construction' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'of naples paddler regularly visited?' is the wordplay.
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'regularly visited?' indicates alternate letters (I've seen 'regularly visited' mean this (letters are taken at regular intervals)).
The alternate letters of 'paddler' are 'ade'.
'naples' is an anagram of 'esplan'.
'esplan'+'ade'='ESPLANADE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for esplanade that I've seen before include "Level seashore walkway" , "Long stretch of open seafront for walking or driving" , "place for a stroll" , "Paved area at seaside resort" , "Walkway beside the seashore" .)
