Massage inside vehicle upset residential community (6)
I believe the answer is:
suburb
'residential community' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'massage inside vehicle upset' is the wordplay.
'massage' becomes 'rub' (rub can mean to massage).
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'vehicle' becomes 'bus' (public transport vehicle).
'upset' says the letters should be written backwards.
'rub' placed within 'bus' is 'brubus'.
'brubus' written backwards gives 'SUBURB'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for suburb that I've seen before include "City's outer district" , "Residential district on a city's outskirts" , "Present (bill); melt down (fat)" , "Residential district on the outskirts of a city" , "Residential city area" .)
