One of the more ruined old places? (4)
I believe the answer is:
rome
'one of the more ruined old places?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'one of the more' is the wordplay.
'one of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'more' anagrammed gives 'ROME'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rome that I've seen before include "When here, do as the citizens do" , "City not built in a day" , "Italian city" , "Seat of Italian empire" , "Basis for cheese" .)
