Somewhere to stay could be shortly arranged -- outside Spain (8)
I believe the answer is:
hostelry
'somewhere to stay could' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'shortly arranged outside spain' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters (letters rearranged).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'spain' becomes 'e' (abbreviation for Espana).
'shortly' with letters rearranged gives 'hostlry'.
'hostlry' going around 'e' is 'HOSTELRY'.
'be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hostelry that I've seen before include "Inn, pub" , "Shyer lot in old inn" , "Inn, lodge" , "Inn (arch., joc.)" , "Old name for inn" .)
