A 'Model T' in scarlet? (3)
I believe the answer is:
car
'a model t' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'in scarlet?' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'CAR' can be found hidden inside 'scarlet'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for car that I've seen before include "Wheels" , "Auto" , "Vehicle carrying vehicles" , "Railway carriage; vehicle" , "Means of transport" .)
