Caught by a Red Cap in ____? (4)
I believe the answer is:
camp
'cap in ?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'caught by a red' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'a red' becomes 'amp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'c'+'amp'='CAMP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for camp that I've seen before include "party supporters" , "Tented or other military area" , "somewhat affected" , "holiday location" , "Where guys are tense" .)
