A place of rest from dancing (5)
I believe the answer is:
limbo
This might be a double definition.
'a place' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Place of suspense ' mean 'limbo' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'limbo')
'rest from dancing' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for limbo that I've seen before include "Imaginary place for lost or neglected things" , "neither here nor there" , "Dance; uncertain period of waiting" , "Former state as for unbaptised souls" , "Place of suspense" .)
