Hit and miss? (6)
I believe the answer is:
strike
This clue might be a double definition.
'hit' is the first definition.
(I know that hit can be written as strike)
'miss?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strike that I've seen before include "Sudden attack; chime" , "Make a sudden large financial gain" , "success for bowler" , "Hit; cancel" , "Walk-out" .)
