Five from seventeen for part of programme? (5)
I believe the answer is:
event
'part of programme?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'five from seventeen' is the wordplay.
'EVENT' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for event that I've seen before include "special occasion" , "A notable occurrence or happening" , "match" , "A noteworthy happening or occurrence" , "Occasion; sports contest" .)
