Lift the can (4)
I believe the answer is:
nick
This clue might be a double definition.
'lift' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the can' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nick that I've seen before include "Arrest - purloin" , "go off with > form" , "Filch" , "diabolical person's name" , "Small cut; steal" .)
