Medic, one with distinctive quality, describing some cinemas (5-2)
I believe the answer is:
drive-in
'describing some cinemas' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'medic one with distinctive quality' is the wordplay.
'medic' becomes 'dr' (doctor).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'distinctive quality' becomes 'vein' (I've seen this before).
'dr'+'i'+'vein'='DRIVE-IN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drive-in that I've seen before include "Usable without leaving the car" , "Diviner (anag.)" , "Facility for use without leaving one's car" , "Describing a cinema, for example, where the audience is in cars" , "Like, eg, a cinema for motorists in the US" .)
