Cheap accommodation ultimately dodgy; the loo shut off (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
youth hostel
'cheap accommodation' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'ultimately dodgy the loo shut off' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
The last letter of 'dodgy' is 'y'.
'the'+'loo'+'shut'='thelooshut'
'thelooshut' with letters rearranged gives 'outhhostel'.
'y'+'outhhostel'='YOUTH HOSTEL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for youth hostel that I've seen before include "Holiday accommodation, traditionally for youngsters" , "Lodging place for youngsters" , "Cheap accommodation, often for youngsters" , "Cheap accommodation for young people" , "Backpacker's cheap lodging" .)
