Fashion figure with a computer connection (5)
I believe the answer is:
modem
'a computer connection' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'fashion figure' is the wordplay.
'fashion' becomes 'mode' (synonyms).
'figure' becomes 'm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'mode'+'m'='MODEM'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for modem that I've seen before include "Online connection device" , "Computer/line connector" , "Computer interface" , "Device for connecting computers via a phone line" , "Digital-analogue converter" .)
