Monk is accommodating neckwear preferences (10)
I believe the answer is:
priorities
'preferences' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'monk is accommodating neckwear' is the wordplay.
'monk' becomes 'prior' (I've seen this in another clue).
'accommodating' indicates putting letters inside.
'neckwear' becomes 'tie' (type of neckwear).
'is' enclosing 'tie' is 'ities'.
'prior'+'ities'='PRIORITIES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for priorities that I've seen before include "Main requirements" , "Most pressing aspects" , "Urgent items" .)
