QC possibly shot? (4)
I believe the answer is:
silk
This could be a double definition.
'qc' is the first definition.
(informal term for a Queen's Counsel barrister)
'shot?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'possibly' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for silk that I've seen before include "brief" , "Advocate" , "Item of fine legwear" , "it's taken by QC" , "Ancient double-oared ship could be mire" .)
