A lawyer returns to place for meetings (5)
I believe the answer is:
ascot
'place for meetings' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'a lawyer returns to' is the wordplay.
'lawyer' becomes 'sc' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'returns' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'to' back-to-front is 'ot'.
'a'+'sc'+'ot'='ASCOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "Posh racecourse" , "Necktie with wide square ends" , "Berkshire racecourse - coast (anag)" , "Coats (anag) - racecourse" , "Royal race meeting venue" .)
