More costly room in clinic means moving to higher level (6)
I believe the answer is:
upward
'level' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'more costly room in clinic means moving to higher' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'room' could be 'ward' (I've seen this before) and 'ward' is located in the answer.
'higher' could be 'up' and 'up' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for upward that I've seen before include "Rising" , "Moving to a higher point" , "Towards a higher level" , "Moving towards what is higher" , "Ascending" .)
