Framework of education graduate’s note leading to publicity (8)
I believe the answer is:
bedstead
'framework' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'education graduate's note leading to publicity' is the wordplay.
'education graduate's' becomes 'bed's' (Bachelor of Education).
'note' becomes 'te' (musical note).
'leading to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go before or lead others).
'publicity' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'beds'+'te'+'ad'='BEDSTEAD'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bedstead that I've seen before include "Frame upon which a mattress sits" , "Frame etc on which one sleeps" , "Mattress support" , "Framework supporting springs and mattresses" , "Frame for a sleeping person" .)
