Piece of cutlery in the road? (4)
I believe the answer is:
fork
This clue might be a double definition.
'piece of cutlery' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'road?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'in the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fork that I've seen before include "Garden tool" , "Branch, prong" , "(Path) split into two" , "Kitchen implement" , "Split into two parts" .)
