A tear for the letting? (4)
I believe the answer is:
rent
This might be a double definition.
'a tear' is the first definition.
(I know that tear can be written as rent)
'letting?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'for the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rent that I've seen before include "Payment for house etc" , "Payment due to landlord" , "Money to pay" , "Regular payment" , "One due a letter" .)
