Resident of humble home in bed time after time, right? (8)
I believe the answer is:
cottager
'resident of humble home' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bed time after time right?' is the wordplay.
'bed' becomes 'cot' (cot is a type of bed).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 'age' (an age is a period of time).
'right?' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'cot'+'t'+'age'+'r'='COTTAGER'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cottager that I've seen before include "Countryman" , "One living in a small house" , "Country dweller" , "Tenant perhaps" , "Inhabitant of small simple house in the country" .)
