'goods' 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?

'this are neither here nor there' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'are' could be 'ran' (running is a kind of being) and 'ran' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
