Support for a substitute? (5)
I believe the answer is:
bench
This clue might be a double definition.
'support for' 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?
'a substitute?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bench that I've seen before include "Long seat for judges" , "Pew or settle" , "Plain, stout work-table" , "Laboratory work table" , "Group of magistrates" .)
