Authorisations of dad's frolics? (9)
I believe the answer is:
passports
'authorisations' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'dad's frolics?' is the wordplay.
'dad's' becomes 'pa's' ('pa' can be a synonym of 'dad').
'frolics?' becomes 'sports' ('sport' can be a synonym of 'frolic').
'pas'+'sports'='PASSPORTS'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for passports that I've seen before include "Authorisations to travel abroad" , "Documents allowing travel" , "Having admission documents" , "Authorisation to travel" , "Government documents needed for foreign travel" .)
