Bar entertainer, rely on rewriting (8)
I believe the answer is:
hostelry
'bar' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'entertainer rely on rewriting' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'entertainer' could be 'host' (person hosting or entertaining guests) and 'host' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'rely' is 'elry' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hostelry that I've seen before include "bar?" , "Lodging house" , "Inn (arch., joc.)" , "Inn, pub" , "Provider of accommodation" .)
