Premises resorted to for roasting? (6)
I believe the answer is:
joints
'premises' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for joints that I've seen before include "Junctions, unions" , "Points of connection between two elements" , "Points of connection between two bones" , "Structures in body in which bones are fitted together" .)
