Left to find out everything about burial site (8)
I believe the answer is:
landfill
'burial site' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'left to find out everything' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'find' is 'ndfi' which is present in the answer.
'everything' could be 'all' (all things) and 'all' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for landfill that I've seen before include "Disposal of waste by burying" , "Rubbish buried in site" , "Buried waste material" , "Disposal of waste by burial" , "Low area where waste is buried" .)
