Source of a welcome bit of information? (3)
I believe the answer is:
mat
'source of a welcome bit' 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?
'of information?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MAT' can be found hidden inside 'information'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mat that I've seen before include "Shoe-cleaner" , "Small rug" , "Opening of good book" , "Paint with a dull surface" , "Dull, rug" .)
