City where there’s no longer a tree to be found? (6)
I believe the answer is:
exeter
'city' is the definition.
(exeter is a city)
'there's no longer a tree to be found?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'tree' is 'eter' which is within the answer.
'no longer' could be 'ex' and 'ex' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for exeter that I've seen before include "Administrative centre of Devon" , "County town and cathedral city of Devon" , "South-western English city" , "SW county town" , "See" .)
