Another name for the centre of Dakar (5)
I believe the answer is:
alias
'another name' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'for the centre of dakar' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'in favor' (I've seen this in another clue).
'the centre of' means to look at the middle letters.
'dakar' becomes 'lias' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The central letter of 'infavor' is 'a'.
'a'+'lias'='ALIAS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alias that I've seen before include "Otherwise - an assumed name" , "Alternative name" , "Also known as" , "another name" , "Cabbage salad" .)
