News of explosions? (7)
I believe the answer is:
reports
'news of explosions?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'news of explosions?' is the wordplay.
'news' becomes 'report' (report is a kind of news).
'of explosions?' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'report'+'s'='REPORTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reports that I've seen before include "Documents describing findings" , "Makes known" , "Accounts; bangs" , "Gives account" , "Sounds of gunfire" .)
