First from Telegraph with question for Labour (4)
I believe the answer is:
task
'labour' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'labour' relates to this answer.
'first from telegraph with question' is the wordplay.
'first from telegraph' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'question' becomes 'ask'.
't'+'ask'='TASK'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for task that I've seen before include "Errand, duty" , "Job, undertaking" , "Sort of force" , "commission" , "Chore, job." .)
