Female visiting dead ace in place of rest? (4)
I believe the answer is:
sofa
'place of rest?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'female visiting dead ace' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'visiting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dead' becomes 'so' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ace' becomes 'a'.
'so'+'a'='soa'
'f' going into 'soa' is 'SOFA'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sofa that I've seen before include "Living room seat" , "Oafs (anag.)" , "Upholstered seat for two or more" , "Settee" , "Area for sitting" .)
