Fish added to chest where space hopefully found? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
car park
'where space hopefully found?' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'fish added to chest' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'carp' (carp is a kind of fish).
'added to' says to put letters next to each other.
'chest' becomes 'ark' (historical term for a chest).
'carp'+'ark'='CAR PARK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for car park that I've seen before include "Where vehicles are left" , "of which many stories might be told" , "multistorey, for example - with 27d" , "Multi-storey building with bays" , "place with many bays" .)
