Laptop stored in apartment with no light (5)
I believe the answer is:
unlit
'no light' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'laptop stored in apartment' is the wordplay.
'laptop' becomes 'l' (top of the word 'lap').
'stored in' indicates putting letters inside.
'apartment' becomes 'unit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'l' inserted within 'unit' is 'UNLIT'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unlit that I've seen before include "Perhaps invisible" , "Not yet fired up" , "dim" , "Shady" , "Lacking illumination" .)
