A place where lots go (8)
I believe the answer is:
saleroom
'lots go' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'a place' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'place' could be 'room' (I've seen this before) and 'room' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'where' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for saleroom that I've seen before include "Location for auctions" , "Place for auctions" , "Where to hear cant" .)
