In which, in a roundabout way, you'll never walk alone (8)
I believe the answer is:
carousel
'walk alone' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'in which in a roundabout way you'll never' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'roundabout' could be 'o' (resembles a roundabout) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'way' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'cruel' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carousel that I've seen before include "fairground entertainment" , "airport feature?" , "Revolving belt for luggage at airport" , "Baggage conveyor" , "fair entertainment?" .)
