Carelessly recomposed missing page, "i" needing two dots in this context (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
morse code
'i needing two dots in this context' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'carelessly recomposed missing page' is the wordplay.
'carelessly' is an anagram indicator.
'missing' is a deletion indicator.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'recomposed' with 'p' taken out is 'recomosed'.
'recomosed' is an anagram of 'MORSE CODE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for morse code that I've seen before include "Dot-dash signalling" , "Dot-dash alphabet" , "Means of signalling by dots and dashes" , "A way to signal" , "Way of signalling" .)
