Answer the French doctor at Texan landmark (5)
I believe the answer is:
alamo
'texan landmark' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'answer the french doctor' is the wordplay.
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'the french' becomes 'la' (one of the French words for 'the').
'doctor' becomes 'mo' (medical officer).
'a'+'la'+'mo'='ALAMO'
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alamo that I've seen before include "Historic Texas mission station" , "Where Davy Crockett died, 1836" , "Site of a Texas siege, 1836" , "don't forget it!" , "Famous Texan fortress" .)
