Measure of land nestled in empty shipyard is intended for religious use (6)
I believe the answer is:
sacred
'intended for religious use' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'measure of land nestled in empty shipyard' is the wordplay.
'measure of land' becomes 'acre' (I've seen this in another clue).
'nestled in' indicates putting letters inside.
'empty' means to remove the middle letters.
'shipyard' with its middle removed is 'sd'.
'acre' put into 'sd' is 'SACRED'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sacred that I've seen before include "Holy, blessed" , "Religious" , "devoted to deity" , "'Hallowed, holy (6)'" , "not to be interfered with?" .)
