Home place for stuff entering (5)
I believe the answer is:
input
'stuff entering' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'home place' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'place' becomes 'put' (synonyms).
'in'+'put'='INPUT'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for input that I've seen before include "Simple, without artifice" , "Person's contribution (to activity); electrical signal" , "Contribution - data fed to computer" , "Energy" , "Data contributed" .)
