Expected time for couple’s performance (4)
I believe the answer is:
duet
'couple's performance' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'expected time' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'due' (similar in meaning).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'due'+'t'='DUET'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for duet that I've seen before include "Two singers performing together" , "Composition for two performers" , "Paired performance" , "Two-piece" , "Piece for brace" .)
