Hot places out of the shade (5)
I believe the answer is:
hades
'hot places out' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'of the shade' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'shade' is an anagram of 'HADES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hades that I've seen before include "Home of the souls of the dead" , "Inferno" , "Hell of Greek myth" , "Infernal situation" , "Mythological abode of the dead" .)
