One's brothers' keeper? (6)
I believe the answer is:
friary
This clue might be a double definition.
'one's' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'brothers' keeper?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for friary that I've seen before include "Religious establishment" , "One's home to order" , "Place of the mendicant orders" , "Religious institution" , "House of Dominicans, for example" .)
