Fence losing colour (6)
I believe the answer is:
paling
This clue could be a double definition.
'fence' is the first definition.
(I know that paling is a type of fence)
'losing colour' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paling that I've seen before include "Barrier of stakes" , "Fence made of stakes" , "Fence post - turning white" , "is becoming whiter" .)
