Appointments — mine gets rearranged (8)
I believe the answer is:
meetings
'appointments' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'mine gets rearranged' is the wordplay.
'rearranged' indicates an anagram.
'mine'+'gets'='minegets'
'minegets' anagrammed gives 'MEETINGS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meetings that I've seen before include "Business get-togethers" , "Formally arranged gatherings" , "'Gatherings, usually scheduled (8)'" , "Assemblies as by committees" , "Formal or informal gatherings" .)
