All wrong about the business recession in this area (5)
I believe the answer is:
local
'this area' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'all wrong about the business recession' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'the business' becomes 'co' (short for company).
'recession' is a reversal indicator.
'co' in reverse letter order is 'oc'.
'all' anagrammed gives 'lal'.
'lal' going around 'oc' is 'LOCAL'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for local that I've seen before include "Stopping regularly" , "hearing" , "Pub, maybe" , "Regional; nearby" , "Neighbourhood pub or resident" .)
