See GI shot in wartime event (5)
I believe the answer is:
siege
'wartime event' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'see gi shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'see'+'gi'='seegi'
'seegi' with letters rearranged gives 'SIEGE'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for siege that I've seen before include "seat" , "Surrounding and blockading of town by military" , "Operation to capture a fort, for example" , "Persistent attempt to gain" , "Persistent attack" .)
