Business repels baby insect in Melbourne suburb (6)
I believe the answer is:
coburg
'melbourne suburb' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'business repels baby insect' is the wordplay.
'business' becomes 'co' (short for company).
'repels' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'repelling' mean this).
'baby insect' becomes 'grub' (a grub is an insect larva. I am not sure about the 'baby' bit.).
'grub' backwards is 'burg'.
'co'+'burg'='COBURG'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coburg that I've seen before include "Rounded loaf with cross on top" , "Worsted fabric" .)
