Tabled item is linked to western corporation in outskirts of Bath (7)
I believe the answer is:
bismuth
'corporation in outskirts of bath' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'tabled item is linked to western' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'is' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bismuth that I've seen before include "Chemical element" , "Metallic element" , "Brittle metal, symbol Bi" .)
