Swear, back in a hospital, for example (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
as such
'for example' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'swear back in a hospital' is the wordplay.
'swear' becomes 'cuss' (synonyms).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital).
'cuss' reversed gives 'ssuc'.
'a'+'h'='ah'
'ssuc' put within 'ah' is 'AS SUCH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for as such that I've seen before include "Intrinsically" , "in the manner described" , "in a particular capacity" , "in that particular role" .)
