Where grisettes went around in pairs? (5)
I believe the answer is:
paris
'where grisettes went around' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'pairs' is the wordplay.
'pairs' anagrams to 'PARIS'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paris that I've seen before include "foreign city" , "Capital of France" , "Arc de Triomphe city" , "investment resulted from his action" , "where he got plastered?" .)
