Ban shelves from military buildings (8)
I believe the answer is:
barracks
'military buildings' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'ban shelves' is the wordplay.
'ban' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this in other clues).
'shelves' becomes 'racks' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bar'+'racks'='BARRACKS'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barracks that I've seen before include "Jeers in soldiers' quarters" , "Demonstrates hostility - army quarters" , "Military building(s)" , "private housing" , "Audibly disapproves of" .)
