Strap adjusted, wonky table held (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
seat belt
'strap' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'adjusted wonky table held' is the wordplay.
'adjusted' becomes 'set' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'wonky' indicates an anagram (the original order is disrupted or wonky ).
'held' indicates putting letters inside.
'table' is an anagram of 'atbel'.
'set' going around 'atbel' is 'SEAT-BELT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seat belt that I've seen before include "became mandatory ..." , "Safety strap in car - must wear it" , "Car safety strap (4.4)" , "Safety device worn in car" , "Testable (anag)" .)
