Where the shops are entered by a rogue? (6)
I believe the answer is:
arcade
'where the shops' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'are entered by a rogue?' is the wordplay.
'entered by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (I've seen this in other clues).
'a rogue?' becomes 'cad' (I've seen this in another clue).
'are' placed around 'cad' is 'ARCADE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arcade that I've seen before include "area of gaming" , "Covered passage of e.g. shops" , "Colonnade" , "Covered passage containing shops" , "Covered area with shops and stalls" .)
