Where some Italian bankers deposit, AAA credit is reviewed (8,3)
I believe the answer is:
adriatic sea
'where some italian bankers deposit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'aaa credit is reviewed' is the wordplay.
'reviewed' indicates anagramming the letters (letters reviewed or revised).
'aaa'+'credit'+'is'='aaacreditis'
'aaacreditis' is an anagram of 'ADRIATIC SEA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adriatic sea that I've seen before include "Quantity of liquid" , "Water between the Balkans and Italy" , "Greek resort area" , "It lies between Italy and the Balkans" , "It lies between Italy and the Balkan peninsula" .)
