Disease spread about where many take their holidays (7)
I believe the answer is:
seaside
'where many take their holidays' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'disease spread' is the wordplay.
'spread' indicates an anagram.
'disease' is an anagram of 'SEASIDE'.
'about' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seaside that I've seen before include "Shoreline" , "Holiday destination" , "leisure area" , "Beach holiday resort area" , "holiday location" .)
