Pause before tirade, to accept gold in commercial establishment (10)
I believe the answer is:
restaurant
'commercial establishment' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'pause before tirade to accept gold' is the wordplay.
'pause' becomes 'rest' (rest is a kind of pause).
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'tirade' becomes 'rant' (both can mean an angry outburst).
'to accept' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'rest'+'rant'='restrant'
'restrant' placed around 'au' is 'RESTAURANT'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for restaurant that I've seen before include "table here?" , "Eating place" , "Eatery" .)
