palace

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'versailles?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'area in location' is the wordplay.
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'location' becomes 'place' (a location is a place).
'a' placed within 'place' is 'PALACE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for palace that I've seen before include "Grand building" , "Locality round a monarch's official residence" , "Castle" , "Regal mansion" , "Sovereign's residence" .)
