I note firm getting the writer to provide part of accounts (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
income
'part of accounts' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'i note firm getting the writer' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'n' (abbreviation).
'firm' becomes 'co' (a firm is a company).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'the writer' becomes 'me' (the person who wrote the clues).
'i'+'n'+'co'+'me'='INCOME'
'to provide' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for income that I've seen before include "Coin me! (anag)" , "Money received for work or from investment" , "Money gained over time" , "Remuneration or earnings" , "Financial gain accruing over a given period of time" .)
