Where one could be at work, away from work cooler! (6)
I believe the answer is:
office
'where one could be at work' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'away from work cooler' is the wordplay.
'away from work' becomes 'off' (I've seen this in another clue).
'cooler' becomes 'ice' (something which cools).
'off'+'ice'='OFFICE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for office that I've seen before include "base?" , "Administration room" , "Department" , "Box ---, ticket agency" , "Position of authority" .)
