Gust in this bay not unknown, swimming in these? (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
bathing suits
'these?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'gust in this bay not unknown swimming' is the wordplay.
'not' is a deletion indicator.
'unknown' becomes 'y' (algebra).
'swimming' is an anagram indicator.
'gust'+'in'+'this'+'bay'='gustinthisbay'
'gustinthisbay' with 'y' taken away is 'gustinthisba'.
'gustinthisba' anagrammed gives 'BATHING SUITS'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
