A brown one - or maybe in scarlet? (5)
I believe the answer is:
study
This clue might be a double definition.
'a brown one' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'maybe in scarlet?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for study that I've seen before include "Investigate" , "Read: den" , "Scrutinize" , "Writing-room" , "Room for work/reading" .)
