Rely on Gore to find place for donations (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
blood bank
'place for donations' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'rely on gore' is the wordplay.
'rely' becomes 'bank'.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'gore' becomes 'blood' (synonyms).
'bank' put after 'blood' is 'BLOOD BANK'.
'to find' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blood bank that I've seen before include "Reservoir for transfusions" , "Store of vital fluid" , "vital supply" .)
