Airport management keeping it soaring in high-level place (5)
I believe the answer is:
attic
'high-level place' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'airport management keeping it soaring' is the wordplay.
'airport management' becomes 'cta' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'keeping' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters kept inside).
'soaring' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in a down clue, letters 'soar' up).
'cta' placed around 'it' is 'citta'.
'citta' reversed gives 'ATTIC'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attic that I've seen before include "Small room at the top" , "Room at the top of a house" , "Ancient Greek; loft" , "Top level" , "Tacit (anag.)" .)
