Bureau trades krona, taking a cut (4)
I believe the answer is:
desk
'a cut' is the 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?
'bureau trades krona taking' is the wordplay.
'taking' indicates a hidden word (the answer is carried or taken by the clue).
'DESK' is hidden within 'bureau trades krona'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for desk that I've seen before include "Hotel counter; newspaper section" , "Table for writing, reading etc" , "Escritoire - service counter" , "School furniture item" , "Work table" .)
