Dance for doctor? (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
medicine ball
'dance for doctor?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'dance for doctor?' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'doctor?' becomes 'medicine' (I've seen this before).
'ball' after 'medicine' is 'MEDICINE-BALL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for medicine ball that I've seen before include "used in physical training" , "social event at Barts?" , "Heavyweight" .)
