For top quality, make a person pay (4)
I believe the answer is:
fine
This might be a double definition.
'for top quality' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'make a person pay' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fine that I've seen before include "Capital - punishment" , "First-rate - punishment" , "Very thin - excellent?" , "end to the music" , "Sunny -- penalty" .)
