Where, in Iberia, music can take root? (6)
I believe the answer is:
oporto
'where in iberia music' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'can take root?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'take' could be 'r' (abbreviation for 'recipe', Latin for 'take') and 'r' is found in the answer.
'can' could be 'pot' (synonyms) and 'pot' is located in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'oo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oporto that I've seen before include "Iberian city" , "Portugal's second city" , "Second largest city in Portugal" , "European city" , "Portuguese wine city" .)
