Sheltered area in Cork? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
lee side
'cork?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'sheltered area' is the wordplay.
'sheltered' becomes 'lee' (as in lee side, the side sheltered from wind).
'area' becomes 'side' (side is a kind of area).
'lee'+'side'='LEE SIDE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lee side that I've seen before include "Needing area of respite" , "Area away from wind" , "Sheltered part (of an island)" , "Region sheltered from the wind" , "By the banks in Cork" .)
