Fishing line in stormy Eastern port (11)
I believe the answer is:
paternoster
'fishing line' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'stormy eastern port' is the wordplay.
'stormy' indicates an anagram (stormy suggests disruption).
'eastern'+'port'='easternport'
'easternport' anagrammed gives 'PATERNOSTER'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paternoster that I've seen before include "that could take people to a different level" , "One can get uplifted by this" , "supplication" , "a continuous lift" , "The Lord''s Prayer" .)
