Saints accepting high church feature (6)
I believe the answer is:
stalls
'church feature' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'saints accepting high' is the wordplay.
'saints' becomes 'ss' (an abbreviation for saint written twice).
'accepting' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are accepted).
'high' becomes 'tall' (associated in meaning).
'ss' enclosing 'tall' is 'STALLS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stalls that I've seen before include "Cuts out in parterre?" , "Booths" , "Plays for time" , "Theatre seats nearest the stage" , "Most expensive theatre seats" .)
