Popular monarch snatching time in Bury? (5)
I believe the answer is:
inter
'bury?' is the definition.
(to inter is to put into the ground)
'popular monarch snatching time' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'monarch' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina, British Queen).
'snatching' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'in'+'er'='iner'
'iner' enclosing 't' is 'INTER'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "I rent (anag.)" , "top Italian side" , "team from Italy" , "promoting cessation" , "Prefix meaning between or among" .)
