Hissing sound from adder back around a residence (7)
I believe the answer is:
address
'a residence' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hissing sound from adder back' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'adder' is 'addre' which is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'around' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for address that I've seen before include "hail maybe?" , "Where one lives" , "One's postal residence." , "Form of identification for building" , "One's designated location" .)
