<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lee</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(the lee is the sheltered side of something)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for shelter that I've seen before include "Protective structure" , "Refuge or protective cover" , "Protection from bad weather or danger" , "Place offering protection" , "Covering that provides protection from the weather" .)
