Somehow my clue shows where peripatetics ponder (6)
I believe the answer is:
lyceum
'where peripatetics ponder' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lyceum that I've seen before include "Aristotle's teaching place" , "Athenian garden where Aristotle taught" , "hall" , "Public building for lectures, concerts, plays etc" , "Where in Athens Aristotle taught philosophy" .)
