Where travellers can stay in Pinner (3)
I believe the answer is:
inn
'where travellers can stay' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'in pinner' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'INN' can be found hidden inside 'pinner'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "Gray's, Lincoln's" , "Local" , "eg the Tabard" , "place to eat, drink and sleep" , "Resting place" .)
