Male with silver paper? (3)
I believe the answer is:
mag
'paper?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'male with silver' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'm'+'ag'='MAG'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mag that I've seen before include "Periodical (abbrev.)" , "Publication" , "Periodical (abbr)" .)
