Cuts diva out of the versions of The Bridge (8)
I believe the answer is:
viaducts
'versions of the bridge' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'cuts diva out of' is the wordplay.
'out of' is an anagram indicator.
'cuts'+'diva'='cutsdiva'
'cutsdiva' with letters rearranged gives 'VIADUCTS'.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for viaducts that I've seen before include "Arches supporting roads and railways over valleys" , "Arched routes over valleys" , "Bridges to carry roads and railways over valleys" , "Bridges with arches spanning valleys" .)
