Office where person devises sentences using specific dictionary? (8)
I believe the answer is:
chambers
'dictionary?' is the definition.
(dictionary publisher)
'office where person devises sentences using specific' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'person' could be 'ham' (ham is a kind of person) and 'ham' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'cbers' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chambers that I've seen before include "Judge's room - dictionary" , "Set of rooms as for judge" , "vaults" , "Rooms for the judge and dictionary" , "Judge's room for hearing cases in private" .)
