Exhibit artist mounted for BA workshop? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hangar
'ba workshop?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'exhibit artist mounted' is the wordplay.
'exhibit' becomes 'hang' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'mounted' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters mounted up).
'ra' in reverse letter order is 'ar'.
'hang'+'ar'='HANGAR'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hangar that I've seen before include "planes here" , "Large building for housing aircraft" , "Large shed to house aircraft" , "Large shed for housing aircraft" , "Aircraft accommodation" .)
