Place for the infernal characters from Othello (4)
I believe the answer is:
hell
'place' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Infernal place' mean 'hell' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'hell')
'the infernal characters from othello' is the wordplay.
'HELL' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hell that I've seen before include "Unpleasant place" , "uproar" , "'The road to . . . . is paved with good intentions'" , "Abode of the damned" , "One of spelt out words" .)
