Money frequently means a high situation (4)
I believe the answer is:
loft
'a high situation' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'money frequently' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'frequently' becomes 'oft' (synonyms).
'l'+'oft'='LOFT'
'means' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loft that I've seen before include "Roof space area" , "Sky" , "Space inside a roof" , "Hit (a ball) high" , "Open space at the top of a building" .)
