Father figure, coach, one delivering the goods in America? (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
freight train
'one delivering the goods in america?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'father figure coach' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'fr' (abbreviation as in a priest's title).
'figure' becomes 'eight' (eight is a number).
'coach' becomes 'train' (both can mean to instruct a sportsperson).
'fr'+'eight'+'train'='FREIGHT-TRAIN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for freight train that I've seen before include "Rail goods transporter" , "Non-passenger transport" , "Railway wagons coupled together to carry goods" .)
