News about fashionable key material (8)
I believe the answer is:
whipcord
'news' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'fashionable key material' is the wordplay.
'fashionable key' becomes 'whip' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'material' becomes 'cord' (cord is a kind of material).
'whip'+'cord'='WHIPCORD'
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for whipcord that I've seen is " beating fabric?".)
