Drops theatrical habit? (6)
I believe the answer is:
scrubs
This clue might be a double definition.
'drops' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'theatrical habit?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scrubs that I've seen before include "Cleans with hard rubbing" , "Wormwood _____" , "Abolishes" , "special clothing for those working in the theatre" , "Protective garments for surgeons" .)
