New area, maybe, for a change of holiday? (6)
I believe the answer is:
forest
'new area' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'for a change of holiday?' is the wordplay.
'for a change' is an anagram indicator.
'holiday?' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this before).
'of' with letters rearranged gives 'fo'.
'fo'+'rest'='FOREST'
'maybe' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forest that I've seen before include "Tree-covered area" , "that has branches everywhere" , "Dense woodland" , "eg Sherwood" , "Area thick with trees" .)
