Holding racket inside (3)
I believe the answer is:
din
'holding racket inside' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'holding racket inside' is the wordplay.
'inside' indicates a hidden word.
'DIN' is hidden within 'holding racket'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for din that I've seen before include "'Loud, harsh noise (3)'" , "'Continuous, unpleasant noise (3)'" , "Loud and long noise" , "Loud harsh hoise" , "Unwanted noise" .)
