Source of a bit of a scare on the road? (3)
I believe the answer is:
car
'source of a bit' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'a scare on the road?' is the wordplay.
'CAR' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for car that I've seen before include "Wheels" , "4-wheeled vehicle" , "estate, perhaps" , "Means of transport" , "Wheeled vehicle" .)
