Flying Officer at spirit meeting (5)
I believe the answer is:
forum
'meeting' is the definition.
(forum is a kind of meeting)
'flying officer at spirit' is the wordplay.
'flying officer' becomes 'fo' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'spirit' becomes 'rum' (alcoholic spirit).
'fo'+'rum'='FORUM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forum that I've seen before include "Ground for discussion" , "Ancient Roman marketplace or place for public discussions" , "Place where public meeting or discussion is held" , "place for debate" , "Roman meeting place" .)
