A paean's positive points (6)
I believe the answer is:
anodes
'positive points' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a paean's' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'paean's' becomes 'odes' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'an'+'odes'='ANODES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anodes that I've seen before include "Positive electrodes" , "Sea don (anag.)" , "Negative terminals of primary cells" , "Positively charged conductors" , "They help current entry" .)
