Shoots into sockets? (5)
I believe the answer is:
plugs
This could be a double definition.
'shoots' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'sockets?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plugs that I've seen before include "They'll stop" , "stoppers" , "Stops up" , "Advertisements" , "Wads, of tobacco say" .)
