Stink about hiding English hospital in a county (7)
I believe the answer is:
kentish
'a county' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'stink about hiding english hospital' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'hiding' is an insertion indicator.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital on maps).
'stink' anagrammed gives 'kntis'.
'kntis' enclosing 'e' is 'kentis'.
'kentis'+'h'='KENTISH'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kentish that I've seen before include "Of "The Garden of England"" , "from the English garden?" .)
