Shortened Bologna Ground like a football pitch? (6)
I believe the answer is:
oblong
'a football pitch?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'shortened bologna ground' is the wordplay.
'shortened' means to remove the last letter.
'ground' is an anagram indicator ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'bologna' with its last letter removed is 'bologn'.
'bologn' is an anagram of 'OBLONG'.
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oblong that I've seen before include "Shape of a book" , "Strip for planes" , "Shape that's broader than long" , "Plane figure that deviates from a square by elongation" , "Cab" .)
