Santa's course home? (5)
I believe the answer is:
north
'santa's' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'course home?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'course' could be 'n' and 'n' is located in the answer.
'home?' could be 'h' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures) and 'h' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ort' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for north that I've seen before include "Boreal; South's opposite" , "Thorn (anag.)" , "who has to follow West's lead?" , "Magnetic or true?" , "A quarter" .)
