Second promise for fencing material? (5)
I believe the answer is:
sword
'fencing material?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'second promise' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'promise' becomes 'word' (as in 'I give you my word').
's'+'word'='SWORD'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sword that I've seen before include "Normandy beach" , "Combat" , "used for fencing" , "Weapon of steel" , "Weapon with long blade" .)
