Name an outsize auto (5)
I believe the answer is:
oscar
'name an' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'outsize auto' is the wordplay.
'outsize' becomes 'os'.
'auto' becomes 'car' (synonyms).
'os'+'car'='OSCAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oscar that I've seen before include "Code word for O" , "letter read out on radio" , "Film award; --- Hammerstein" , "US film award" , "Film statuette" .)
