Regulation applied to new home feature (4)
I believe the answer is:
lawn
'home feature' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'regulation applied to new' is the wordplay.
'regulation' becomes 'law' (I've seen this before).
'applied to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'law'+'n'='LAWN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lawn that I've seen before include "sleeves composer?" , "Green area" , "Smooth grass area, often in front of house" , "that may be cut in strips?" , "Type of thin linen or cotton" .)
