Bit of business that may be of merit (5)
I believe the answer is:
order
This clue might be a double definition.
'bit' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'business that may be of merit' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "Decree" , "Society of monks/nuns" , "demanding firm discipline" , "association" , "Religious fraternity" .)
