One upholding a standard? (4)
I believe the answer is:
mast
This could be a double definition.
'one upholding' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'a standard?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mast that I've seen before include "Pole on ship" , "Pole to support a sail" , "Television transmitter" , "Tall pole from which flag is flown" , "Spar to support a sail" .)
