Invigorating no-go area, in parts even attractive (8)
I believe the answer is:
inviting
'attractive' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
'invigorating no-go area in parts even' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is located in the answer.
'go' could be 'ting' (tinging is a kind of going) and 'ting' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inviting that I've seen before include "Attractive and tempting" , "Asking to visit" , "How nice" , "Seductive; asking over" , "Requesting the pleasure of" .)
