Put outside theatre or inside? (11)
I believe the answer is:
preposition
'inside?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'put outside theatre' is the wordplay.
'put' becomes 'position' (positioning is a kind of putting).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go outside others).
'theatre' becomes 'rep' (repertory theatre).
'position' going around 'rep' is 'PREPOSITION'.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for preposition that I've seen before include "Part of speech" , "One is in" , ""Before" or "after", say" , "Word like after or for (grammar)" , "Possibly in" .)
