Review during search (7)
I believe the answer is:
inquest
'review' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'during search' is the wordplay.
'during' becomes 'in' (e.g. during February means in February).
'search' becomes 'quest' (quest is a kind of search).
'in'+'quest'='INQUEST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inquest that I've seen before include "Judicial enquiry" , "Coroner's inquiry into cause of death" , "Post-death investigation" , "Coroner's court" , "Inquiry into the cause of unexpected death" .)
