Cabin with space for nautical manoeuvres? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
sea room
'cabin' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'space for nautical manoeuvres?' is the wordplay.
'space' becomes 'room' (enough space or room to do something).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'nautical manoeuvres?' becomes 'sea' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'room' after 'sea' is 'SEA-ROOM'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sea room that I've seen before include "Space to manoeuvre" , "required for naval manoeuvres" .)
