Wherein, shopping, one can get scared (but not wet) (7)
I believe the answer is:
arcades
'wherein shopping' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'one can get scared but not wet' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'scared' is 'rcades' which is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arcades that I've seen before include "Arched walks" , "Covered passageway with shops and stalls" , "Covered walkways" , "Covered areas with shops" , "More than one mall" .)
