A tracheotomy's beginning in that place? (7)
I believe the answer is:
theatre
'place?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Place of entertainment ' mean 'theatre' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'theatre')
'a tracheotomy's beginning in that' is the wordplay.
'beginning' says to take the initial letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'that' becomes 'there' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letter of 'tracheotomy' is 't'.
'a'+'t'='at'
'at' put into 'there' is 'THEATRE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for theatre that I've seen before include "Scene of military activity" , "Play scene" , "Entertainment venue" , "Area of operations" , "Place for operation or play" .)
