Rise and fall before noon? Hell, no (6)
I believe the answer is:
heaven
'hell no' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'rise and fall before noon?' is the wordplay.
'rise and fall' becomes 'heave' (I've seen this before).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'heave'+'n'='HEAVEN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heaven that I've seen before include "Happy place" , "Paradise - supreme happiness" , "The abode of God in many religions" , "ecstasy" , "Place of supreme bliss" .)
