Get in vet at fault for a short account (8)
I believe the answer is:
vignette
'a short account' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'get in vet at fault' is the wordplay.
'at fault' indicates an anagram.
'get'+'in'+'vet'='getinvet'
'getinvet' is an anagram of 'VIGNETTE'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vignette that I've seen before include "Evocative picture" , "Small illustration, sketch" , "Small evocative illustration or essay" , "Small illustration at the beginning or end of a book" , "Word-picture" .)
