Something to take the boredom out of saving? (8)
I believe the answer is:
interest
'saving?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for interest that I've seen before include "Attract - curiosity" , "may be simple" , "Sum of money paid on top of borrowed amount" , "something that is enjoyable" , "Money earned by money in deposit account" .)
