White church Basil built (7)
I believe the answer is:
chablis
'white' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'church basil built' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'built' is an anagram indicator.
'basil' is an anagram of 'ablis'.
'ch'+'ablis'='CHABLIS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chablis that I've seen before include "Burgundy town and white wine" , "Drink" , "Classic white wine from Burgundy" , "French town noted for white Burgundy wines" , "Dry Burgundy wine" .)
