Drink and lace ornament on a dresser (7)
I believe the answer is:
necktie
'ornament on a dresser' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'drink and lace' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'neck' (to neck a drink is to drink it quickly).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'lace' becomes 'tie' (I've seen this in another clue).
'neck'+'tie'='NECKTIE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for necktie that I've seen before include "Male dress item (US)" , "Material worn knotted round throat" , "Strip of fabric often worn by men" , "Nike etc. (anag.)" , "Garment typically for a man" .)
