Bachelor got a small amount (6)
I believe the answer is:
degree
This could be a double definition.
'bachelor' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'a small amount' is the second definition.
'degree' can be an answer for 'amount' (degree is a kind of amount). I'm not sure about the 'a small' bit.
'got' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for degree that I've seen before include "Gradation on a scale" , "Letters" , "Angular unit and college award" , "displayed by small elevated circle" , "Educational qualification" .)
