Where to fight, with heavy heart, to earn some change? (5)
I believe the answer is:
arena
'where to fight' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'heavy heart to earn some change?' is the wordplay.
'heart' says to take the centre.
'some change?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'changes' mean this).
The middle letter of 'heavy' is 'a'.
'earn' anagrammed gives 'rena'.
'a'+'rena'='ARENA'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arena that I've seen before include "centre of conflict" , "place involving conflict?" , "Venue for boxing, circus and other action events" , "Performance space" , "Performance venue" .)
