Set code with right curtains, say (5)
I believe the answer is:
decor
'curtains say' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'set code with right' is the wordplay.
'set' indicates anagramming the letters (instruction to set the letters).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'code' anagrammed gives 'deco'.
'deco'+'r'='DECOR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for decor that I've seen before include "Interior design; stage scenery" , "Style of furnishing etc used in room" , "Colour-scheme etc of a room" , "Scheme of interior furnishings" , "Choice of colour" .)
