Recreation for the potter (7)
I believe the answer is:
snooker
This clue might be a double definition.
'recreation' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'potter' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'for the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snooker that I've seen before include "Ballgame" , "A form of pool" , "Game played with 15 red balls, six of other colours and a white one" , "Indoor ball game" , "Game played on a billiards table" .)
