Sort of bathroom needing 3 to maintain it? (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
en suite
'sort of bathroom' is the definition.
'en suite' can be an answer for 'bathroom' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'sort of' bit.
'3 to maintain it?' is the wordplay.
's' becomes 'ensue' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to maintain' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are controlled or maintained).
'ensue' going around 'it' is 'EN SUITE'.
'needing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for en suite that I've seen before include "Forming a unit or set" , "Like bathrooms next to bedrooms" , "Forming a single unit, like bedroom and bathroom" , "(Of a bedroom) having a private bathroom attached" , "(Of bathroom) accessible from the bedroom" .)
