Football Association? (6)
I believe the answer is:
league
This might be a double definition.
'football' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'association?' is the second definition.
(I know that league is a type of association)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for league that I've seen before include "some mileage?" , "Association for mutual co-operation" , "Union - measure" , "Former measure of distance, usually about three miles" , "Association - old measure of distance" .)
