Refashioned out of hall of residence in Kilmainham (4)
I believe the answer is:
cell
'kilmainham' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'refashioned out of hall of residence in' is the wordplay.
'out of' suggests deleting specific letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'of'+'residence'='ofresidence'
'hall' going around 'ofresidence' is 'haofresidencell'.
'haofresidencell' with 'refashioned' taken out is 'CELL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cell that I've seen before include "Prison accommodation" , "Animal or plant building unit" , "Unit of animal or plant structure" , "Compartment in honeycomb" , "Biological unit with a nucleus" .)
