Keep a watch on this uprising from Benin's capital (3)
I believe the answer is:
fob
'keep a watch' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'this uprising from benin's capital' is the wordplay.
'this uprising' is a reversal indicator.
'from' becomes 'of' (of can mean from or belonging to).
'capital' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'benin' is 'b'.
'of' written backwards gives 'fo'.
'fo'+'b'='FOB'
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fob that I've seen before include "Key-ring tab" , "Ornament worn on watch chain" , "Kind of watch on a chain" , "Kind of watch carried in pocket" , "Chain attached to watch" .)
