German city church in main feature (7)
I believe the answer is:
essence
'main feature' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'german city church' is the wordplay.
'german city' becomes 'essen' (city in Germany).
'church' becomes 'CE' (Church of England).
'essen'+'ce'='ESSENCE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for essence that I've seen before include "Attar" , "Nitty-gritty" , "Intrinsic nature (of something)" , "Extract; intrinsic nature" , "one of 21 [HEARTS]" .)
