Profile both sides fall from grace (4)
I believe the answer is:
face
'grace' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'profile both sides fall' is the wordplay.
'profile' becomes 'fa' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'both sides' suggests removing the centre (I've seen 'both sides of' mean this (only the letters on the sides remain)).
'fall' becomes 'come' ('come' can be a synonym of 'fall').
'come' with its centre taken out is 'ce'.
'fa'+'ce'='FACE'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for face that I've seen before include "Front -- confront" , "Deal with" , "cheek" , "Outward appearance" , "Come up against" .)
