Reportedly foul resting-place? (5)
I believe the answer is:
roost
This clue could be a double definition.
'reportedly foul' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'resting-place?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roost that I've seen before include "Shetland tidal water" , "Night spot for birds/bats" , "Where bats congregate" , "Perch on a branch" , "The cock rules it" .)
