Some solace in failed investment? (6)
I believe the answer is:
relief
This clue might be a double definition.
'some solace' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'failed investment?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for relief that I've seen before include "Substitute" , "Lightening up of something" , "Lessening or removal of pain" , "Easing of pain" , "Deliverance; assistance (to poor)" .)
