Governor having message from bank being put back (13)
I believe the answer is:
reinstatement
'put back' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'governor having message from bank' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'message' could be 'statement' (statement is a kind of message) and 'statement' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 're' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reinstatement that I've seen before include "Restoring" , "Restoration to a previous position" , "Rehabilitation" .)
