Cross road, or also avoid, somehow (3,8)
I believe the answer is:
via dolorosa
'cross road' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'or also avoid somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'or'+'also'+'avoid'='oralsoavoid'
'oralsoavoid' anagrammed gives 'VIA DOLOROSA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for via dolorosa that I've seen before include "The way to Calvary" , "Daunting course of action; route to Calvary" , "Pilgrim's passage" , "Way to Crucifixion" , "Christ's route to Calvary" .)
