Sort of chest that may be scraped (6)
I believe the answer is:
barrel
This could be a double definition.
'sort' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'chest that may be scraped' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barrel that I've seen before include "Cask, drum" , "Container for beer etc" , "Oil or beer container" , "Cheerful old song: 'Roll out the . . . . . .'" , "Beer cask" .)
