Nothing original in parking angle to north or south (9)
I believe the answer is:
platitude
'south' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for platitude that I've seen before include "Cliche" , "Commonplace remark, banal or trite" , "overused phrase" , "Empty remark" , "We've heard that before" .)
