Discussion venue (5)
I believe the answer is:
forum
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">discussion venue</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(a forum is a place for discussion)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for forum that I've seen before include "Online message board" , "Tribunal" , "Ancient Roman marketplace or place for public discussions" , "Place where public meeting or discussion is held" , "Place of assembly for the people in ancient Greece" .)
