Record for setting up duty free shops in a roundabout way (4)
I believe the answer is:
spud
'record for' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'up duty free shops in a roundabout way' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'way' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pud' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'setting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spud that I've seen before include "Weed spade" , "Murphy" , "Commoner's King Edward?" , "One could be in jacket" , "Vegetable" .)
