Where they try you in syllabus? (10)
I believe the answer is:
courthouse
'where they try' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'you in syllabus?' is the wordplay.
'you' becomes 'thou' (historical second person pronoun).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'syllabus?' becomes 'course' (I've seen this before).
'thou' going within 'course' is 'COURTHOUSE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for courthouse that I've seen before include "suits here?" , "where the action takes place" , "government building" .)
