Analytics reveals receding urban agglomeration (4)
I believe the answer is:
city
'urban agglomeration' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'analytics reveals receding' is the wordplay.
'reveals' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'receding' says the letters should be written backwards.
'ytic' is hidden within 'analytics'.
'ytic' reversed gives 'CITY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for city that I've seen before include "Tokyo, for example" , "Metropolis" , "See 5" , "See 2" , "Urban district" .)
