Grounds for destroying audits manuscript? (8)
I believe the answer is:
stadiums
'grounds' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'destroying audits manuscript?' is the wordplay.
'destroying' indicates an anagram.
'manuscript?' becomes 'ms' (abbreviation for manuscript).
'audits' with letters rearranged gives 'stadiu'.
'stadiu'+'ms'='STADIUMS'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stadiums that I've seen before include "Sports arenas" , "grounds, say" .)
