Gloria's arranged housing for eastern women here (8)
I believe the answer is:
seraglio
'eastern women here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'gloria's arranged housing for' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters (letters rearranged).
'housing' indicates putting letters inside.
'for' becomes 'se' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gloria' is an anagram of 'raglio'.
'raglio' going around 'se' is 'SERAGLIO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seraglio that I've seen before include "Gaoler is found in kind of harem" , "Female apartments" , "female quarters" , "Group of women" , "single-sex accommodation" .)
