Throw boot and harm John from America? (8)
I believe the answer is:
bathroom
'john from america?' is the definition.
'bathroom' can be an answer for 'john' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'from america?' bit.
'throw boot and harm' is the wordplay.
'throw' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'boot' put after 'harm' is 'harmboot'.
'harmboot' anagrammed gives 'BATHROOM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bathroom that I've seen before include "place for ablutions" , "Chamber for ablutions" , "Usually the smallest room" , "It has washing and toilet facilities" , "Abhor Tom (anag)" .)
