A cult object to fish out for a space visitant (6)
I believe the answer is:
fetish
'space visitant' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a cult object to fish out' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'object' could be 'ti' (Ti is an example) and 'ti' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fetish that I've seen before include "charm" , "magical object" , "Object worshipped as having a spirit" , "Object worshipped by primitive people or of abnormal sexual interest" , "thing?" .)
