Possible crisis averted from container ships toppling monument (8)
I believe the answer is:
pantheon
'monument' is the definition.
(pantheon is a kind of monument)
'possible crisis averted from container ships toppling' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'possible' could be 'on' ('not on' can mean unacceptable or not possible) and 'on' is found in the answer.
'container' could be 'pan' (pan is a kind of container) and 'pan' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'the' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pantheon that I've seen before include "memorial" , "Ancient Roman temple" , "Temple dedicated to all the gods" , "church" , "All the gods of a people or religion" .)
