A snooze on the carpet? (3)
I believe the answer is:
nap
This clue could be a double definition.
'a snooze' is the first definition.
(I know that snooze is a kind of catch a wink)
'the carpet?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nap that I've seen before include "Quick sleep; raised pile" , "Raised fibres on surface of cloth or leather" , "A fuzzy surface texture" , "soft, fluffy surface" , "Snatch forty winks" .)
