Arms on the counter somewhere in pub (4)
I believe the answer is:
snug
'somewhere in pub' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'arms on the counter' is the wordplay.
'arms' becomes 'guns' (gun is a kind of arm).
'on the counter' is a reversal indicator (counter can mean in the opposite direction).
'guns' backwards is 'SNUG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snug that I've seen before include "Cosy and comfortable" , "Bar-parlour" , "Cosy retreat" , "Compact" , "Intimate" .)
