Wife and child one's taken out somewhere on the farm? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
dutch barn
'out somewhere on the farm?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'wife and child one's taken' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'dutch' (slang term).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'child' becomes 'bairn' (Scottish and northern English term for a child).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'taken' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'bairn' with 'i' removed is 'barn'.
'dutch'+'barn'='DUTCH BARN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dutch barn that I've seen before include "where hay is stored" , "Building for hay storage" , "Farm building for storage" , "hayloft" .)
