Has one such a column all to oneself? (8)
I believe the answer is:
personal
'has one' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'such a column all to oneself?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'such' could be 'so' and 'so' is present in the answer.
'a' could be 'per' (eg 'one a day' means 'one per day') and 'per' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for personal that I've seen before include "Confidential" , "Concerning the self" , "Wounding" , "Individual; advert (column)" , "Of one's private life - nobody else's business" .)
