One cast as a drifter? (3)
I believe the answer is:
net
This clue could be a double definition.
'one cast' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'a drifter?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "Cricket practice area" , "Fish-catching mesh" , "Meshed trap" , "difficulty" , "Clear profit or gain" .)
