Skin found in compound outside Holland's capital (6)
I believe the answer is:
oxhide
'skin' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'compound outside holland's capital' is the wordplay.
'compound' becomes 'oxide' (oxide is a kind of compound).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go outside others).
'capital' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'hollands' is 'h'.
'oxide' enclosing 'h' is 'OXHIDE'.
'found in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oxhide that I've seen before include "neat cover" , "Type of leather" , "Neat wrapper" , "It's very tough" .)
