Line of succession for knighthood? (5)
I believe the answer is:
order
I believe this is a triple definition!
'line' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'of' acts as a link.
'succession' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'for' acts as a link.
'knighthood?' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "demand" , "One may be tall if demanding" , "Command; arrange" , "Direct or requisition" , "booking" .)
