Laments abandoned city, following foreign gold deposits, primarily (9)
I believe the answer is:
lodgments
'laments' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'abandoned city following foreign gold deposits primarily' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'gold' is 'lodg' which is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
