brainpower

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mind' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'shower pressure in boudoir' is the wordplay.
'shower' becomes 'rain' (synonyms).
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'boudoir' becomes 'bower'.
'rain'+'p'='rainp'
'rainp' placed into 'bower' is 'BRAINPOWER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for brainpower that I've seen is " intelligence".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
