Port in Scotland with American University - Dundee?
I believe the answer is:
gateau
'dundee?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'port in scotland with american university' is the wordplay.
'port in scotland' becomes 'gate' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'american' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names).
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'gate'+'a'+'u'='GATEAU'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gateau that I've seen before include "Something French for 22?" , "Cake for Pierre" , "Rich dessert cake" , "It's sweet" , "Afternoon snack" .)
