Moorland once a part of Florida (7)
I believe the answer is:
orlando
'florida' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'moorland once a part' is the wordplay.
'a part' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ORLANDO' can be found hidden inside 'moorland once'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orlando that I've seen before include "US city" , "City in Florida - site of Disney World" , "Bloom for one" , "Disney World location" , "Romantic lead in "As You Like It" - the Marmalade Cat" .)
