Apple reduced price abroad for piece of office equipment (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
paper clip
'piece of office equipment' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'apple reduced price abroad' is the wordplay.
'reduced' means to remove the last letter.
'abroad' is an anagram indicator (abroad can mean moving around).
'price' with its final letter taken away is 'pric'.
'apple'+'pric'='applepric'
'applepric' is an anagram of 'PAPER-CLIP'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paper clip that I've seen before include "It keeps reports together" , "staple alternative?" , "it collects leaves together" , "bent wire" , "Small piece of office equipment" .)
