Jim, is Eric or Dave garnering support in the church? (10)
I believe the answer is:
misericord
'the church?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'jim is eric or dave garnering support' is the wordplay.
'support' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'supporting' mean this).
'MISERICORD' can be found hidden inside 'jim is eric or dave garnering'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misericord that I've seen before include "monk's room" , "Part of seat" , "support for prayer" , "Support for stander in church" , "Ledge under choir stall seat" .)
