Prevailing fashion in climbing place, we hear (5)
I believe the answer is:
style
'prevailing fashion' is the definition.
'style' can be an answer for 'fashion' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'prevailing' bit.
'climbing place we hear' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'place' could be 'sty' (I have seen 'Filthy place ' mean 'sty' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'sty') and 'sty' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for style that I've seen before include "Fashion, manner, mode" , "Manner or way of doing something" , "Pointed pen" , "Fashion - designation" , "Method; elegance" .)
