One responsible for laughter in court? (6)
I believe the answer is:
jester
This could be a double definition.
'one' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'laughter in court?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'responsible for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jester that I've seen before include "Court entertainer (with bells on?)" , "one entertaining in court" , "Court joker" , "Funny man in olden courts" , "his work's funny" .)
