Saint or doctor taking in a little one (7)
I believe the answer is:
dominic
'saint' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'doctor taking in a little one' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'doctor' could be 'd' (eg in PhD, Doctor of Philosophy) and 'd' is located in the answer.
'in' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dominic that I've seen before include "Man's name" , "Priest" , "Man" .)
