Bad baron, at it, one taking tourists for ride? (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
boat-train
'one taking tourists for ride?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'bad baron at it' is the wordplay.
'bad' indicates an anagram.
'baron'+'at'+'it'='baronatit'
'baronatit' is an anagram of 'BOAT-TRAIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
