Show contempt for Greek island parties? (6)
I believe the answer is:
discos
'parties?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'show contempt for greek island' is the wordplay.
'show contempt for' becomes 'dis'.
'greek island' becomes 'cos' (Cos is a Greek island).
'dis'+'cos'='DISCOS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for discos that I've seen before include "Parties with music" , "Dance venues, in short" , "dance clubs" , "Dances with recorded popular music" , "Halls for dancing to recorded music" .)
