Isolated high point providing some satisfaction, but only some (4)
I believe the answer is:
mesa
'isolated high point' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'some satisfaction but only some' is the wordplay.
'only some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MESA' can be found hidden inside 'some satisfaction but'.
'providing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mesa that I've seen before include "US steep-sided tableland" , "Flat-topped hill with steep sides, common in the southwestern US" , "High land" , "Flat-topped tableland" , "Geographical feature" .)
