Five from seventeen for part of programme? (5)
I believe the answer is:
event
'part of programme?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps 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 am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
'for' acts as a 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" .)
