One often powered by stream that’s turned dry in June, finally (7)
I believe the answer is:
turbine
'one often powered by stream' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'turned dry in june finally' is the wordplay.
'turned' is a reversal indicator.
'dry' becomes 'brut' (type of wine).
'finally' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'june' is 'e'.
'brut' reversed gives 'turb'.
'turb'+'in'+'e'='TURBINE'
'that's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turbine that I've seen before include "Ruin bet (anag)" , "Machine driven by tribune" , "machine with vanes" , "Rotary energy converter" , "Machine driven by wheel turned by flow of water or gas" .)
