Answer concerning laminated wood (5)
I believe the answer is:
reply
'answer' is the definition.
(I know that answer can be written as reply)
'concerning laminated wood' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'laminated wood' becomes 'ply' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'ply'='REPLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reply that I've seen before include "acknowledgement" , "Comeback" , "Counter" , "Returned statement" , "counterattack?" .)
