High standard for a part mannequin (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
role model
'high standard' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'a part mannequin' is the wordplay.
'a part' becomes 'role' (eg a theatrical role).
'mannequin' becomes 'model' (synonyms).
'role'+'model'='ROLE-MODEL'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for role model that I've seen before include "good person" , "Exemplar" , "Person to imitate" , "Person looked on by others as an example to be imitated" , "Paragon" .)
