Material name added to charge (5)
I believe the answer is:
linen
'charge' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'material name added' is the wordplay.
'material' becomes 'line' (line is a kind of material).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'added' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'line'+'n'='LINEN'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for linen that I've seen before include "Underclothes" , "More than one sheet" , "Flax textile" , "Flax product" , "Sheets, tablecloths etc" .)
