Policeman's firm where E might be taken (5)
I believe the answer is:
disco
'where e might be taken' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'policeman's firm' is the wordplay.
'policeman's' becomes 'di's' (detective inspector).
'firm' becomes 'co' (a firm is a company).
'dis'+'co'='DISCO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disco that I've seen before include "Modern dancehall of youth" , "'Genre of dance music, popular in the 1970s (5)'" , "Club with dancing to recorded music" , "Public dance hall with recorded music" , "Dance hall - music by Donna Summer and the Bee Gees, say" .)
