Place in which stripper wastes time? (5)
I believe the answer is:
locus
'place' is the definition.
('place' in Latin)
'stripper wastes time?' is the wordplay.
'stripper' becomes 'locust' (insects which strip areas of vegetation).
'wastes' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'time?' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'locust' with 't' removed is 'LOCUS'.
'in which' is the link.
(Other definitions for locus that I've seen before include "Particular point" , "Place, site" , "A defined position" , "Position, point, place" , "Place of occurrence" .)
