Pet allowed to get small collar? (7)
I believe the answer is:
necklet
'small collar?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'pet allowed to' is the wordplay.
'pet' becomes 'neck' (necking is a kind of petting).
'allowed to' becomes 'let' (to let something happen is to allow it).
'neck'+'let'='NECKLET'
'get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for necklet that I've seen before include "Item of jewellery" , "Ornament worn above shoulder level" , "Little ornament" , "Something like a choker" , "Ornament worn around throat" .)
