Leaders of Greeks, Italians, and Norwegians in Geneva (3)
I believe the answer is:
gin
'norwegians in geneva' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'leaders of greeks italians and' is the wordplay.
'leaders of' indicates taking the first letters.
'and' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and').
The initial letters of 'greeks italians' is 'gi'.
'gi'+'n'='GIN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gin that I've seen before include "Spirit; cotton machine" , "Animal trap or alcoholic drink" , "Liquor flavoured with juniper berries" , "Colourless spirit flavoured with juniper berries - mother's ruin" , "Clear alcoholic drink" .)
