Beer and joint get Nora wasted (6)
I believe the answer is:
corona
'beer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'joint get nora wasted' is the wordplay.
'joint' becomes 'co' (eg a co-leader is a joint leader).
'get' indicates putting letters inside.
'wasted' indicates an anagram.
'nora' with letters rearranged gives 'rona'.
'co' inserted inside 'rona' is 'CORONA'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for corona that I've seen before include "Big Smoke" , "It's visible as a halo during a solar eclipse" , "Sun's envelope; cigar" , "Gaseous envelope of sun" , "Sun's gaseous envelope" .)
