Place an absolute eyesore we hear (4)
I believe the answer is:
site
'place an absolute' is the definition.
'site' can be an answer for 'place' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'an absolute' bit.
'eyesore we hear' is the wordplay.
'eyesore' becomes 'sight' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'sight' is a homophone of 'SITE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for site that I've seen before include "Web location; place" , "Whereabouts" , "setting" , "Somewhere to build, perhaps" , "Locate, position" .)
