morocco

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'binding in' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'place' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for morocco that I've seen before include "state of Africa" , "N. African country" , "Fine soft leather from goatskin" , "Arab state" , "Rabat's country" .)
