Respectful display of silver in house (6)
I believe the answer is:
homage
'respectful display' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'silver in house' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'house' becomes 'home' (homing is a kind of housing).
'ag' going within 'home' is 'HOMAGE'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for homage that I've seen before include "Show of respect to someone" , "Respect - acknowledgement of allegiance" , "respectful acknowledgment" , "Acknowledgment of superiority" , "Dutiful reverence" .)
