Seaport of Bali unfortunately overwhelmed by bad smell (6)
I believe the answer is:
bilbao
'seaport' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bali unfortunately overwhelmed by bad smell' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram.
'overwhelmed by' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'bad smell' becomes 'bo' (informal abbreviation for body odour).
'bali' anagrammed gives 'ilba'.
'ilba' inserted within 'bo' is 'BILBAO'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bilbao that I've seen before include "Basque city" , "European city" , "Spanish town" , "Spanish city, home to the Guggenheim Museum" , "Basque capital" .)
