Microscopic part of outspoken newspaper article (8)
I believe the answer is:
eyepiece
'microscopic part' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'outspoken newspaper article' is the wordplay.
'outspoken' shows a homophone (sound like) (as the word might be spoken).
'newspaper' becomes 'i' (UK newspaper).
'article' becomes 'piece' (article can mean a thing or item).
'i' sounds like 'eye'.
'eye'+'piece'='EYEPIECE'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyepiece that I've seen before include "Astronomer looks into this" , "that fits into socket" , "Top end of a microscope" , "Given lens" , "It enables us to view" .)
