Like the price of certain stockings? (3)
I believe the answer is:
net
'price of certain stockings?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'like the' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'ne' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'ne'+'t'='NET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "Mesh; profit" , "Open weave fabric" , "What separates court opponents" , "Mesh; entrap" , "Tennis court feature" .)
