Reviewing riverside modernistic houses shaped like a vault (5)
I believe the answer is:
domed
'shaped like a vault' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'reviewing riverside modernistic houses' is the wordplay.
'reviewing' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'review' mean this).
'houses' indicates a hidden word (part of the clue houses the answer).
'demod' is hidden in the letters of 'riverside modernistic'.
'demod' reversed gives 'DOMED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for domed that I've seen before include "Vaulted" , "Shaped like rounded roof" , "cupola" , "not flat!" , "with a meniscus" .)
