The pair overstated (3)
I believe the answer is:
two
This could be a double definition.
'the pair' is the first definition.
(a pair means two of something)
'overstated' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for two that I've seen before include "''... turtle doves''" , "Even number" , "Number of faces of the god Janus" , "1 + 1" , "Old song 'Tea for . . .'" .)
