Where, in Iberia, music can take root? (6)
I believe the answer is:
oporto
'where in iberia music' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'can take root?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'take' could be 'r' (recipe is latin for take - r is abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'can' could be 'pot' ('pot' can be a synonym of 'can') and 'pot' is present in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'oo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oporto that I've seen before include "Iberian city" , "Portugal's second city" , "Second largest city in Portugal" , "European city" , "Portuguese wine city" .)
