Wherein to labour at scientific work? (3)
I believe the answer is:
lab
'scientific work?' is the definition.
'lab' can be an answer for 'work?' (lab is a kind of work). I also know that 'scientific' relates to this answer.
'wherein to labour' is the wordplay.
'wherein' becomes 'ab' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'labour' becomes 'L' (political abbreviation).
'ab' put after 'l' is 'LAB'.
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lab that I've seen before include "Scientists' workplace" , "Research workroom" , "Workplace for researcher" , "In brief, a room for scientific experiments" , "Workplace for scientific research, in short" .)
