Partner's issue on leaving flight (5)
I believe the answer is:
steps
This might be a double definition.
'partner's issue' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'leaving flight' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steps that I've seen before include "Stairs; paces" , "See 23" , "Sequence of foot movements in a dance" , "Stiles" , "Buchan's 1915 novel has 39 of them" .)
