Could enthusiast land on a window above the door? (8)
I believe the answer is:
fanlight
'door?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'could enthusiast land on a window above' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'enthusiast' could be 'fan' (fan is a kind of enthusiast) and 'fan' is found within the answer.
'land' could be 'light' (lighting is a kind of landing) and 'light' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fanlight that I've seen before include "kind of window" , "Small window" , "Windows above a door" , "opening over the door" , "elevated aperture" .)
