Scenery I'd design for a regular gig (9)
I believe the answer is:
residency
'a regular gig' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'scenery i'd design' is the wordplay.
'design' indicates an anagram.
'scenery'+'id'='sceneryid'
'sceneryid' with letters rearranged gives 'RESIDENCY'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for residency that I've seen before include "Fact of living in a place" , "live-in post" , "Home" , "circumstance of living in a particular place" , "temporary post as artist" .)
