A spot of illicit drinking (7)
I believe the answer is:
shebeen
This clue might be a double definition.
'a spot' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'illicit drinking' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shebeen that I've seen before include "in which spirits may be found" , "Unlicensed establishment selling alcohol" , "Illicit bar in South Africa, Ireland or Scotland" , "Illegal liquor shop" , "Illicit liquor-shop" .)
