Music for the occasion of students' fun? (7)
I believe the answer is:
ragtime
'students' fun?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'music for the occasion' is the wordplay.
'music' becomes 'rag' (rag is a kind of music).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'the occasion' becomes 'time' (I've seen this before).
'rag'+'time'='RAGTIME'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ragtime that I've seen before include "Jazz music for Maigret" , "Form of jazz with a two-four rhythm" , "Style of jazz popularised by Scott Joplin et al" , "Maigret (anag)" , "Syncopated music style" .)
