Support for canvasser? (5)
I believe the answer is:
easel
This might be a double definition.
'support' is the first definition.
(easel is a kind of support)
'canvasser?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "supporter of the arts" , "Wooden frame for an artist" , "Artist's tripod" , "The rest of artists" , "Support for artist's canvas" .)
