'effects' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'entering a pub in april near barking area' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'pub' could be 'ph' (public house) and 'ph' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'near' is 'aern' which is present in the remaining letters.
an anagram of 'april' is 'prali' which is located in the left over letters.
'area' could be 'a' (maths abbreviation) and 'a' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
