'Broadband in Devon': two articles (6)
I believe the answer is:
swathe
'broadband in devon' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'two articles' is the wordplay.
'two' becomes 'sw' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'articles' becomes 'a the' ('a' and 'the', indefinite and definite articles).
'sw'+'athe'='SWATHE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swathe that I've seen before include "Envelop" , "Wrap; bandage" , "put bands around" , "A broad strip as of cut grass" , "Row or path cut through" .)
