Copies one million times (6)
I believe the answer is:
images
'copies' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'one million times' is the wordplay.
'one million' becomes 'im' (resembles 1m).
'times' becomes 'ages' (age is a kind of time).
'im'+'ages'='IMAGES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for images that I've seen before include "Representations or reflections" , "Visual or mental representations" , "Semblances" , "Photos or representations" , "Pictures or photos" .)
