Start to think about limiting high temperature in place of surgery (7)
I believe the answer is:
theatre
'place of surgery' is the definition.
'theatre' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'Place of entertainment ' mean 'theatre' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'theatre'). I am not sure about the 'of surgery' bit.
'start to think about limiting high temperature' is the wordplay.
'start to' indicates taking the first letters.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'limiting' is an insertion indicator.
'high temperature' becomes 'heat' (synonyms).
The first letter of 'think' is 't'.
't'+'re'='tre'
'tre' going around 'heat' is 'THEATRE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for theatre that I've seen before include "Space for dramatic art and surgery" , "Building for entertainment" , "Place for spectacles" , "where Finney played" , "Scene of operations or dramatic performances" .)
