A place rebuilt as an edifice (6)
I believe the answer is:
palace
'an edifice' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'a place rebuilt' is the wordplay.
'rebuilt' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'place'='aplace'
'aplace' anagrammed gives 'PALACE'.
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for palace that I've seen before include "Royal house" , "Locality round a monarch's official residence" , "Impressive residence of a ruler" , "eg Buckingham" , "Official residence of a sovereign" .)
