Mirrored solar device at hotel is unconventional (9)
I believe the answer is:
heliostat
'mirrored solar device' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'at hotel is unconventional' is the wordplay.
'unconventional' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at'+'hotel'+'is'='athotelis'
'athotelis' with letters rearranged gives 'HELIOSTAT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for heliostat that I've seen is " instrument with mirror".)
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
