Wife alright making dish (3)
I believe the answer is:
wok
'dish' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'wife alright' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'alright' becomes 'OK' (synonyms).
'w'+'ok'='WOK'
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wok that I've seen before include "Chinese bowl-shaped frying pan" , "Chinese cooking vessel like large bowl" , "Chinese cooking pan" , "A Chinese large-bowled frying pan" , "pot" .)
