Ancient convict? (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
old-timer
This could be a double definition.
'ancient' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'convict?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for old-timer that I've seen before include "Male with long experience, maybe a prospector" , "Man of long experience" , "Very long-serving person" , "Veteran, elderly person" .)
