Through crossing street gets view (5)
I believe the answer is:
vista
'view' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'through crossing street' is the wordplay.
'through' becomes 'via' (I've seen this before).
'crossing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'via' placed around 'st' is 'VISTA'.
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for vista that I've seen before include "Panorama" , "Pleasant view" , "Prospect, view" , "A view as seen through a long narrow opening" , "Broad prospect" .)
