Flat from which a woman has been left out twice? (5)
I believe the answer is:
level
'flat' is the definition.
(I know that flat can be written as level)
'a woman has been left out twice?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'woman' could be 'eve' (Eve is an example) and 'eve' is found within the answer.
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'l' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'from which' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for level that I've seen before include "Floor; horizontal" , "Straight, even" , "Smooth - sort of crossing" , "Storey - stage" , "Palindromic storey" .)
