Very busy wanting hospital to hold operation in abnormal place (7)
I believe the answer is:
ectopic
'very busy wanting hospital to hold operation in abnormal place' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'very busy wanting hospital to hold operation in' is the wordplay.
'very busy' becomes 'hectic' (I've seen this before).
'wanting' suggests deleting specific letters (wanting can mean lacking).
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital on maps).
'to hold operation' becomes 'op' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'hectic' with 'h' removed is 'ectic'.
'ectic' going around 'op' is 'ECTOPIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ectopic that I've seen before include "In an abnormal position" , "out of place" , "unusual pregnancy" , "In an unusual situation" .)
