Knock a bit off for the computer? (4)
I believe the answer is:
chip
This clue might be a double definition.
'knock a bit off for' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'computer?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chip that I've seen before include "Small fragment (of potato?)" , "loft" , "Crack" , "Gambling token" , "Piece off block (or on shoulder?)" .)
