Elevated position where one of four rooks sits (6)
I believe the answer is:
height
This clue could be a double definition.
'elevated position' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'where one of four rooks sits' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for height that I've seen before include "Rising ground; extreme example" , "Hill, elevation" , "Dimension from top to bottom" , "Loftiness" , "Measurement from top to bottom" .)
