Where Brazil was deprived of capital (3)
I believe the answer is:
rio
This clue could be a double definition.
'where brazil was deprived' is the first definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'capital' is the second definition.
(I know that Rio is a capital)
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rio that I've seen before include "(Golfer) in the sand" , "Location of next Olympic Games, in short" , "... Grande, ... de Janeiro" , "Spanish word for river" , "old capital" .)
