Call team to edge of fighting area (8)
I believe the answer is:
ringside
'edge of fighting area' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'call team' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'ring' (synonyms).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'ring'+'side'='RINGSIDE'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ringside that I've seen before include "Where to get a good view of a boxing match" , "where there's a good view" , "expensive seats" , "location near fighting" , "good seats" .)
