Bachelor buzzing with energy in gown (8)
I believe the answer is:
bathrobe
'gown' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'bachelor buzzing with energy' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'BA' (the qualification: Bachelor of Arts).
'buzzing with' becomes 'throb' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mch).
'ba'+'throb'+'e'='BATHROBE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bathrobe that I've seen before include "you may take it after a shower" , "Towelling dressing-gown" , "Towelling garment" , "freshly-washed clothing" , "Towelling dressing gown" .)
