Secure round a docked missile installation at the base (7)
I believe the answer is:
basilar
'base' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I can't see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
