Fruit drink containing a bit of heavenly body (7)
I believe the answer is:
chassis
'fruit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'drink containing a bit of heavenly body' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'cha' (cha can mean tea).
'containing' is an insertion indicator.
'a bit' becomes 'i' (resembles s, a binary digit or bit).
'of heavenly body' becomes 'sss' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'i' inserted within 'sss' is 'ssis'.
'cha'+'ssis'='CHASSIS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chassis that I've seen before include "basic structure" , "Mounting" , "Body framework" , "Vehicle's base frame" , "Support" .)
