Endless section of a short story (3)
I believe the answer is:
par
'a short story' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'endless section' is the wordplay.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'section' becomes 'part' (synonyms).
'part' with its final letter taken off is 'PAR'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for par that I've seen before include "Expected number of strokes for hole (golf)" , "Average - equality" , "average degree" , "Expected golf hole score" , "Average standard" .)
