City where some of us met a terrible doom (5)
I believe the answer is:
sodom
'city' is the definition.
(cities of the plain from Genesis)
'some of us met a terrible doom' is the wordplay.
'some of us' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'met' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a terrible' indicates anagramming the letters.
'doom' is an anagram of 'odom'.
's'+'odom'='SODOM'
'where' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sodom that I've seen before include "Sinful city of the Bible" , "Wicked OT city" , "The piece of turf starts the wicked city" , "Wicked depraved place" , "With Gomorrah, it was destroyed for wickedness" .)
