Kingdom where fruitarians peeled bananas? (9)
I believe the answer is:
ruritania
'kingdom' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'fruitarians peeled bananas?' is the wordplay.
'peeled' means to look at the middle letters (outer letters are peeled off).
'bananas?' is an anagram indicator (informal term for mad).
The middle letters of 'fruitarians' are 'ruitarian'.
'ruitarian' with letters rearranged gives 'RURITANIA'.
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ruritania that I've seen before include "romantic spot" , "Fantasy world" , "Anthony Hope's imagined central European kingdom" , "Hope place" , "Imaginary small kingdom" .)
