A refreshing place (7)
I believe the answer is:
tearoom
'a refreshing place' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'refreshing place' is the wordplay.
'refreshing' becomes 'tea' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'place' becomes 'room' (I've seen this before).
'tea'+'room'='TEAROOM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tearoom that I've seen before include "Small restaurant" , "Place for light refreshments" , "Place in which a cuppa is served" , "Cafeteria" , "24" .)
