Blunder overheard in accommodation (4)
I believe the answer is:
gaff
'accommodation' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'blunder overheard' is the wordplay.
'blunder' becomes 'gaffe' (gaffe is a kind of blunder).
'overheard' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'gaffe' is a homophone of 'GAFF'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gaff that I've seen before include "House, once?" , "Pole with hook used by anglers" , "Hook used to land fish" , "Iron hook for landing big fish" , "Fisherman's stick with iron hook" .)
