Paper work won’t be shifted to waiting room (7)
I believe the answer is:
origami
'paper work' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
I also know that 'paper' relates to this answer.
'won't be shifted to waiting room' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'be' could be 'am' and 'am' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for origami that I've seen before include "Japanese craft of paper folding" , "Jap. paper-folding art" , "work from folder" , "Japanese art of folding or tearing paper" , "I'm a giro (anag)" .)
