Protracted story about certain killers? (6)
I believe the answer is:
serial
'protracted story' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for serial that I've seen before include "Soap opera, e.g." , "Continuous, perhaps like mulitple killer ( 6)" , "Story made up of consecutive parts" , "Story published in instalments" , "following a characteristic pattern" .)
