Analyst left exposed initially by certain grey area? (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
concrete jungle
'grey area?' is the definition.
(concrete buildings might be grey)
'analyst left exposed initially by certain' is the wordplay.
'analyst' becomes 'Jung' (psychoanalyst Carl Jung).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'certain' becomes 'concrete' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letters of 'left exposed' is 'le'.
'jung'+'le'='jungle'
'jungle' put after 'concrete' is 'CONCRETE JUNGLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for concrete jungle that I've seen before include "estate that's unloved" , "area with bleak outlook" , "ugly high-rise area" , "one far from beauty spot" , "city - with 5a" .)
