Camped in building for Covid, say (8)
I believe the answer is:
pandemic
'covid say' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'camped in building' is the wordplay.
'building' is an anagram indicator.
'camped'+'in'='campedin'
'campedin' with letters rearranged gives 'PANDEMIC'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pandemic that I've seen before include "Damn epic about world-wide disease" , "Global disease" , "Decamp in middle of world outbreak of disease" , "extensive disease" , "Very widespread outbreak of a disease" .)
