Where wine is left in a clear condition? (6)
I believe the answer is:
cellar
'where wine' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'left in a clear condition?' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'condition?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'conditions' mean this (letters must be in a new condition)).
'clear' is an anagram of 'celar'.
'l' put within 'celar' is 'CELLAR'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cellar that I've seen before include "Room at the bottom, maybe for wine" , "Place for wine" , "Room where wine is usually stored" , "Underground room - stock of bottled wines" , "Storage space, for wine perhaps" .)
