Westbound motorists regularly entangled in violence (7)
I believe the answer is:
carnage
'violence' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'westbound motorists regularly entangled' is the wordplay.
'westbound' says the letters should be written in reverse (letters written from right to left).
'motorists' becomes 'rac' (short for Royal Automobile Club).
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternating letters of 'entangled' are 'nage'.
'rac' backwards is 'car'.
'car'+'nage'='CARNAGE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carnage that I've seen before include "Bloodshed" , "Mass killing" , "Indiscriminate slaughter" , "Wholesale slaughter" , "Mass slaughter" .)
