A dashed dotty signalling system? (5)
I believe the answer is:
morse
'system?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for morse that I've seen before include "Walrus - TV detective" , "Code; TV detective" , "Colin Dexter's fictional detective" , "One who enjoyed solving code" , "Endeavour" .)
