Book making new use of cyclopean idea? (13)
I believe the answer is:
encyclopaedia
'book' is the definition.
(encyclopaedia is a kind of book)
'of cyclopean idea?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'cyclopean'+'idea'='cyclopeanidea'
'cyclopeanidea' is an anagram of 'ENCYCLOPAEDIA'.
'making new use' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for encyclopaedia that I've seen before include "Book covering whole range of knowledge" , "Reference book on branches of knowledge" , "Large reference book" , "Comprehensive work of reference arranged alphabetically" , "Large book of general knowledge" .)
