Where one could find quiet in a winding lane (5)
I believe the answer is:
nepal
'where one could' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'quiet in a winding lane' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a winding' indicates an anagram.
'lane' with letters rearranged gives 'neal'.
'p' put inside 'neal' is 'NEPAL'.
'find' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nepal that I've seen before include "Kathmandu's country" , "somewhere in the Himalayas" , "Himalayan state" , "Where climbers may be" , "hilly part of Asia" .)
