Regal circle in which people serve sportingly (5)
I believe the answer is:
court
This clue might be a double definition.
'regal circle' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in which people serve sportingly' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for court that I've seen before include "Woo - where tennis is played" , "Woo in legal arena" , "Foolishly invite" , "Hall of justice" , "The Yard" .)
