Was it possibly where one went in waspishly? (5)
I believe the answer is:
waist
'where one went in waspishly?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'was it possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'was'+'it'='wasit'
'wasit' anagrammed gives 'WAIST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for waist that I've seen before include "part of frame" , "Middle part of a ship" , "Ever-expanding middle" , "Ship's middle" , "Middle part of the body" .)
