Charge a quarter? (4)
I believe the answer is:
ward
This clue could be a double definition.
'charge' is the first definition.
(both can mean a child in one's care)
'a quarter?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ward that I've seen before include "Separate room" , "Minor with guardian - division of city" , "zone for votes" , "Minor in the charge of a guardian" , "Hospital unit" .)
