Whole lane out of order for a spooky time (9)
I believe the answer is:
halloween
'a spooky time' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'whole lane out of order' is the wordplay.
'out of order' indicates an anagram.
'whole'+'lane'='wholelane'
'wholelane' anagrammed gives 'HALLOWEEN'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for halloween that I've seen before include "31st October" , "Trick or treat day" , "annual celebration" , "Evening before All Saints' Day ( 9)" , "autumnal celebration" .)
