Sort of liner that takes the discards? (3)
I believe the answer is:
bin
This could be a double definition.
'sort' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'liner that takes the discards?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bin that I've seen before include "Ordinary household receptacle for rubbish" , "Wine store; throw away" , "Receptacle for kitchen rubbish" , "Where to put rubbish" , "Household rubbish is placed in it" .)
