Commotion about king affected community labour force? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
work camp
'community labour force?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'commotion about king affected' is the wordplay.
'commotion' becomes 'row' (a row is an argument or commotion).
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'king' becomes 'K' (chess abbreviation).
'affected' becomes 'camp' (camp can mean exaggerated or affected).
'row' written backwards gives 'wor'.
'wor'+'k'+'camp'='WORK CAMP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for work camp that I've seen is " Place for volunteer labourers".)
