... as are these unopened Genesis CDs, ultimately (7)
I believe the answer is:
awnings
'unopened genesis cds ultimately' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'as are these' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'as' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found in the answer.
'are' could be 'a' (short for 'are', historical unit of measurement) and 'a' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for awnings that I've seen is " Canopies for shelter".)
