Support at desk (7)
I believe the answer is:
console
This might be a double definition.
'support' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'desk' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'at' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for console that I've seen before include "Give solace to" , "Comfort - control panel" , "Give comfort to (someone) for a loss" , "Computer games machine" , "Cheer in distress" .)
