Drive cabin on banks of Lee into a state of severe disrepair (10)
I believe the answer is:
ramshackle
'a state of severe disrepair' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'drive cabin on banks of lee' is the wordplay.
'drive' becomes 'ram' (RAM drive on a computer).
'cabin' becomes 'shack' (I have seen 'Rough cabin ' mean 'shack' so perhaps 'cabin' could also mean 'shack').
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'banks of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (the banks are the sides of the word).
'lee' with its centre taken out is 'le'.
'ram'+'shack'+'le'='RAMSHACKLE'
'into' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ramshackle that I've seen before include "Dilapidated" , "falling to pieces" , "Broken-down" , "falling apart" , "In severe disrepair" .)
