Rotten place to clear out (6)
I believe the answer is:
putrid
'rotten' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'place to clear out' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'place' could be 'put' (synonyms) and 'put' is found within the answer.
'clear' could be 'rid' (synonyms) and 'rid' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for putrid that I've seen before include "Turned" , "Rotting and foul-smelling" , "contaminated" , "Really rotten and foul-smelling" , "Bad smelling, rotting" .)
