Where nurses may be seen advancing? (7)
I believe the answer is:
onwards
'where' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for onwards that I've seen before include "To a point ahead" , "moving in a positive direction" , "(From now) into the future" , "In a forward direction" , "Moving forward (and upwards?)" .)
