Note an inscription that will hold attention (4)
I believe the answer is:
grip
This could be a double definition.
'note an inscription that' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'hold attention' is the second definition.
'grip' can be an answer for 'hold' (gripping is a kind of holding). I'm unsure of the 'attention' bit.
'will' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grip that I've seen before include "Control" , "Take firm hold of travelling bag?" , "Grasp, clutch" , "Fascinate" , "interest - a lot!" .)
