Location of disgraced setter? (8)
I believe the answer is:
doghouse
'disgraced setter?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'location' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'location' could be 'house' (house is a kind of location) and 'house' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'dog' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doghouse that I've seen before include "A disgraceful thing" , "Location of disfavour - kennel" , "Kennel (US)" , "Kennel - home to a disgraced resident?" , "disgraceful environment" .)
