Cause of delay near Cork? (10)
I believe the answer is:
bottleneck
This clue could be a double definition.
'cause of delay' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'near cork?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bottleneck that I've seen before include "Where one may get trapped" , "Constricted section of road" , "in which jam is concentrated?" , "may cause delay" , "Traffic restriction" .)
