Portable shrine can be later dismantled (10)
I believe the answer is:
tabernacle
'portable shrine' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'can be later dismantled' is the wordplay.
'dismantled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'can'+'be'+'later'='canbelater'
'canbelater' is an anagram of 'TABERNACLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tabernacle that I've seen before include "sanctuary" , "A celebrant (anag) - place of worship" , "Tent for Ark in Exodus" , "Mormon temple" , "Tent for the Ark of the Covenant" .)
