Where the car owner needs a bit of help with a test? (5)
I believe the answer is:
motel
'where the car owner needs a bit' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'help with a test?' is the wordplay.
'help' becomes 'el' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a test?' becomes 'MOT' (as in an MOT test for a vehicle).
'el' after 'mot' is 'MOTEL'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for motel that I've seen before include "place for the rest of the travellers" , "Motor lodge" , "somewhere to stay the night" , "Drivers' accommodation" , "Commercial accommodation" .)
