On a page's back (8)
I believe the answer is:
overleaf
'back' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'on a page's' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a page' becomes 'leaf' (leaf can mean a page).
'over'+'leaf'='OVERLEAF'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overleaf that I've seen before include "On the page's other side" , "What vigorous 26 [TREE] may do" , "On the other side of the page" , "next page - with 12a" , "On the next even-numbered page" .)
