Get badly written memoir up in department store (8)
I believe the answer is:
emporium
'department store' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'get badly written memoir up' is the wordplay.
'memoir up' anagrams to 'EMPORIUM'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emporium that I've seen before include "A large imposing shop" , "Large and ostentatious retail establishment" , "Posh 4" , "A large shop or centre of commerce" , "Large retail store with many departments" .)
