All wrong about the business recession in this area (5)
I believe the answer is:
local
'this area' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'all wrong about the business recession' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'the business' becomes 'co' (short for company).
'recession' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'co' reversed gives 'oc'.
'all' with letters rearranged gives 'lal'.
'lal' placed around 'oc' is 'LOCAL'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for local that I've seen before include "Stopping regularly" , "hearing" , "Pub, maybe" , "Regional; nearby" , "Neighbourhood pub or resident" .)
