Bachelor sedated out in base for sleep (8)
I believe the answer is:
bedstead
'base for sleep' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bachelor sedated out' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'sedated' is an anagram of 'edstead'.
'b'+'edstead'='BEDSTEAD'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bedstead that I've seen before include "Frame for a sleeping person" , "Mattress support" , "Frame upon which a mattress sits" , "Frame used for supporting a mattress" , "support for the retired" .)
