Zero wages about to terminate when people visit? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
open day
'people visit?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'zero wages about to terminate' is the wordplay.
'zero' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'wages' becomes 'pay' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'to terminate' becomes 'end' ('end' can be a synonym of 'terminate').
'pay' going around 'end' is 'penday'.
'o'+'penday'='OPEN DAY'
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for open day that I've seen before include "Time for public to visit" , "Free access time" , "Dostoyevsky novel" , "Opportunity to visit (eg, school)" , "Public visiting time" .)
