Braces holding underwear (3)
I believe the answer is:
bra
This might be a double definition.
'braces' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'underwear' is the second definition.
(bra is a type of undergarment)
'holding' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bra that I've seen before include "Underwear item" , "support" , "I give a couple a lift" , "Chest supporter" , "one carrying chest" .)
