Where film will end up, one way or another (8)
I believe the answer is:
darkroom
'where film will end up one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'way or another' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'way' could be 'room' (synonyms) and 'room' is present in the answer.
'another' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'dak' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for darkroom that I've seen before include "Place to develop films" , "In which to develop photographs" , "Gloomy place where photos are processed" , "development area" , "developing area" .)
