Is it altogether bound to be a large sum? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bundle
'sum?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'is it altogether bound to be a large' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found within the answer.
'large' could be 'l' and 'l' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'bund' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bundle that I've seen before include "Cluster" , "Things tied together" , "Loosely bound pile" , "A third of a quarter" , "Collection of things wrapped together" .)
