Escapes with example concerning ship in El Salvador (8)
I believe the answer is:
egresses
'escapes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'example concerning ship in el salvador' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'ship in' becomes 'ss' (prefix in ship names eg SS Great Britain. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'el salvador' becomes 'ES'.
'eg'+'re'+'ss'+'es'='EGRESSES'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egresses that I've seen before include "Exits, ways out" , "Actions of going out" .)
