Character complicit in remark about railway carriage (11)
I believe the answer is:
compartment
'railway carriage' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'character complicit in remark' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'character' could be 'part' (a part in a play) and 'part' is located in the answer.
'remark' could be 'comment' (commenting is a kind of remarking) and 'comment' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'about' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for compartment that I've seen before include "chamber" , "Separate division" , "Section of railway carriage etc" , "one of many coach may have" , "Separate section of a container" .)
