Turned entrancing scene into breaches of law (8)
I believe the answer is:
offences
'breaches of law' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'turned entrancing scene' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'turned' could be 'off' (synonyms) and 'off' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'scene' is 'ences' which is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for offences that I've seen before include "Crimes" , "Misdemeanours" , "Illegal acts, breakings of the law" , "Illegal acts, breaking of laws" , "Breaches of the law" .)
