Church empties, vacated, Queen brought in? Here's to it! (6)
I believe the answer is:
cheers
'here's to it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'church empties vacated queen brought in?' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'vacated' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'brought in?' is an insertion indicator.
'empties' with its centre taken out is 'es'.
'es' placed around 'er' is 'eers'.
'ch'+'eers'='CHEERS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cheers that I've seen before include "Heavenly beings" , "Shouts of praise" , "Accolade" , "Shouts of applause, or drinking toast" , "Thanks; your health" .)
