Months one’s invested in energy framework? Try another place (8)
I believe the answer is:
emigrate
'months one's invested in energy framework? try another place' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'months one's invested in energy framework?' is the wordplay.
'months' becomes 'm'.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'invested in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mcr).
'framework?' becomes 'grate' (grate is a kind of framework**).
'm'+'i'='mi'
'e'+'grate'='egrate'
'mi' going into 'egrate' is 'EMIGRATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emigrate that I've seen before include "Move overseas" , "don't come back!" , "Leave home" , "Go to live abroad" , "Leave the country to settle abroad" .)
