A valued acquisition in management (3)
I believe the answer is:
gem
'a valued acquisition' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'in management' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'GEM' is hidden within 'management'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gem that I've seen before include "one of the Cairngorms?" , "Valued person; jewel" , "Valuable stone" , "A jewel of an Orangeman" , "36 Across or any other jewel" .)
