King comes to a place no longer able to function (5)
I believe the answer is:
kaput
'no longer able to function' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'king comes to a place' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'K' (abbreviation for king in chess).
'comes to' says to put letters next to each other.
'place' becomes 'put' (synonyms).
'k'+'a'+'put'='KAPUT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kaput that I've seen before include "Broken, put out of use" , "Broken down irretrievably" , "No longer functioning" , "Broken and useless" , "Out of order,or broken, from German" .)
