Feature page occupying hack (6)
I believe the answer is:
splash
'feature' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'page occupying hack' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'occupying' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters occupy or enter the word).
'hack' becomes 'slash' (slash can mean to hack or chop).
'p' placed inside 'slash' is 'SPLASH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for splash that I've seen before include "Publicity" , "Effect of hitting water (or headlines!)" , "Bright patch of colour; cause water to fly" , "Scatter liquid - prominent newspaper photo" , "Slop (liquid) over" .)
