No company check on conscript (5)
I believe the answer is:
choco
'conscript' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'no company check on' is the wordplay.
'no' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'check' becomes 'ch' (abbreviation).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'o'+'co'='oco'
'oco' put after 'ch' is 'CHOCO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for choco that I've seen is " Pear-shaped vegetable like a cucumber".)
