Son presently on phone gets transport for Poles? (10)
I believe the answer is:
snowmobile
'transport for poles?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'son presently on phone' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'presently' becomes 'now' (synonyms).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'phone' becomes 'mobile' (mobile phone).
's'+'now'+'mobile'='SNOWMOBILE'
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snowmobile that I've seen before include "Winter vehicle with caterpillar tracks" , "Arctic transport" , "modern way to sledge" , "Tracked vehicle for winter travel?" , "Winter transport" .)
