Dwelling over getting starter in dinner for five (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'dwelling' is the definition.
('abode' can be a synonym of 'dwelling')
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "Where one lives" , "Place of residence" , "House made of adobe" , "stay" , "Archaic dwelling place" .)
