Reveal situation with a cathedral adjacent to Hell? (8)
I believe the answer is:
disclose
'reveal' is the definition.
(I know that reveal can be written as disclose)
'adjacent to hell?' is the wordplay.
'adjacent' becomes 'close' (similar in meaning).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'hell?' becomes 'dis' (term for the underworld in Greek myth).
'close' after 'dis' is 'DISCLOSE'.
'situation with a cathedral' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disclose that I've seen before include "Report" , "broadcast" , "Make (secret) known" , "Sold ices (anag)" , "Uncover" .)
