Fast route from A to B, then regularly dashing around university (8)
I believe the answer is:
autobahn
'fast route' is the definition.
'autobahn' can be an answer for 'route' (I have seen 'overseas route' mean 'autobahn' so perhaps 'route' could also mean 'autobahn'). I am not sure about the 'fast' bit.
'a to b then regularly dashing around university' is the wordplay.
'then' says to put letters next to each other.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
The alternate letters of 'dashing' are 'ahn'.
'a'+'to'+'b'+'ahn'='atobahn'
'atobahn' going around 'u' is 'AUTOBAHN'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for autobahn that I've seen before include "It takes continental drivers" , "One way the Germans drive" , "high-speed route" , "way abroad" , "Great way" .)
