First item of news on the radio? (8)
I believe the answer is:
november
This might be a double definition.
'first' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'item of news on the radio?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
(Other definitions for november that I've seen before include "Eleventh month" , "Armistice month" , "N in radio comms" , "Ninth month in the Roman calendar" , "Mob nerve badly in winter" .)
