Hellish place in old Ethiopia (5)
I believe the answer is:
abyss
This clue might be a double definition.
'hellish place' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'old ethiopia' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abyss that I've seen before include "canyon?" , "deep depression" , "something rather deep" , "Bottomless gulf" , "gaping hole" .)
