Chap in pub turning up: where did he dry out? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rehab
'did he dry out?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'chap in pub turning up' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'he'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'turning up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'he' put inside 'bar' is 'baher'.
'baher' reversed gives 'REHAB'.
'where' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rehab that I've seen before include "Restorative care" , "Treatment for alcohol or drug dependence" , "Treatment for alcoholism" , "Training and therapy after drug abuse" , "Treatment for alcohol abuse" .)
