Annual Oriental loss of direction? (6)
I believe the answer is:
easter
'annual' is the definition.
I know that 'annual' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns
'oriental loss of direction?' is the wordplay.
'oriental' becomes 'e'.
'loss of direction?' becomes 'aster' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'e'+'aster'='EASTER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easter that I've seen before include "Christian celebration at the end of Lent" , "Christian festival of celebration" , "Important Christian festival" , "8 9 [PACIFIC ISLAND]" , "Resurrection festival" .)
