Reflective graduate presented written work referring to home (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'to home' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'reflective graduate presented written work' is the wordplay.
'reflective' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'graduate' becomes 'BA' (someone with a Bachelor of Arts degree).
'presented' says to put letters next to each other.
'written work' becomes 'ode' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'written' bit.).
'ba' reversed gives 'ab'.
'ab'+'ode'='ABODE'
'referring' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "Home or domicile" , "House, home" , "Dwelling, residence" , "stay" , "House made of adobe" .)
