Facing work pressure over location (8)
I believe the answer is:
opposite
'facing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'work pressure over location' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (common abbreviation for 'opus').
'pressure over' becomes 'po' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'location' becomes 'site' (site is a kind of location).
'op'+'po'+'site'='OPPOSITE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for opposite that I've seen before include "across the road?" , "Directly facing each other" , "Rival" , "Contrary or face-to-face" , "Contrary, antipode" .)
