Lounge’s length tripled to hold a ball? (4)
I believe the answer is:
loll
'lounge's' is the definition.
(both can mean to sit in a relaxed way)
'length tripled to hold a ball?' is the wordplay.
'length' becomes 'l' (abbreviation in geometry).
'tripled' becomes 'll' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to hold' indicates putting letters inside.
'a ball?' becomes 'o' (O looks like a ball).
'l'+'ll'='lll'
'lll' placed around 'o' is 'LOLL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loll that I've seen before include "Hang loose" , "Drop" , "Lounge around" , "Slouch" , "Lie sprawled" .)
