Measure time sitting in meeting places (11)
I believe the answer is:
centimetres
'places' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'measure time sitting in' is the wordplay.
'measure' becomes 'centres' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'sitting in' indicates putting letters inside.
'centres' placed around 'time' is 'CENTIMETRES'.
'meeting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for centimetres that I've seen is " measures".)
