Lingering symptom of consumption? (10)
I believe the answer is:
aftertaste
This could be a double definition.
'lingering symptom' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'consumption?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aftertaste that I've seen before include "Residue on the palate" , "residual sensation" , "Relish experienced" , "What lingers in the mouth" , "lingering flavour" .)
