Slow to arrest Resistance in place soldiers go? (7)
I believe the answer is:
latrine
'place soldiers go?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'slow to arrest resistance in' is the wordplay.
'slow' becomes 'late' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to arrest' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'resistance' becomes 'r' (electronics abbreviation).
'r'+'in'='rin'
'late' enclosing 'rin' is 'LATRINE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for latrine that I've seen before include "waste disposal unit" , "Army lavatory" , "office" , "Lavatory (in barracks)" , "Camp toilet" .)
