Carriage taking single father to Paris (5)
I believe the answer is:
priam
'paris' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'carriage taking single father' is the wordplay.
'carriage' becomes 'pram' (pram is a kind of carriage).
'taking' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'single father' becomes 'i' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pram' placed around 'i' is 'PRIAM'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for priam that I've seen before include "Father of Paris in Troy" , "Old man of Paris" , "Ruler of Troy" , "The last king of Troy, in Greek mythology" , "Trojan king" .)
