University management course covering right shady area! (5)
I believe the answer is:
umbra
'right shady area' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'university management course covering' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'management course' becomes 'm' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'covering' becomes 'bra' (bra is a kind of covering).
'u'+'m'+'bra'='UMBRA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for umbra that I've seen before include "dark place" , "Black spot" , "Burma (anag.)" , "Rumba (anag.)" , "Region of shadow" .)
