Book by Sartre in translation (6)
I believe the answer is:
arrest
'book' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'sartre in translation' is the wordplay.
'in translation' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'sartre' anagrammed gives 'ARREST'.
'by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arrest that I've seen before include "Seize (a crime suspect)" , "Run in" , "Stop, check (progress)" , "Sartre (anag) -- check" , "Stop (on suspicion)" .)
