Page came up for written work (5)
I believe the answer is:
prose
'written work' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'page came up' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'came up' becomes 'Rose' (I've seen this before).
'p'+'rose'='PROSE'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prose that I've seen before include "Non-verse" , "Ropes (anag.)" , "Text" , "Writings not in verse" , "Ordinary spoken or written language" .)
