Remote mountain top where crops are grown? (4)
I believe the answer is:
farm
'where crops are grown?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'remote mountain top' is the wordplay.
'remote' becomes 'far' (synonyms).
'top' suggests taking the first letters (in a down clue, the first letter is top).
The initial letter of 'mountain' is 'm'.
'far'+'m'='FARM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for farm that I've seen before include "agricultural centre" , "Agricultural dwelling" , "Country business" , "croft" , "and 27: Source of meat" .)
