Support troops? (6)
I believe the answer is:
column
This could be a double definition.
'support' is the first definition.
(column is a kind of support)
'troops' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for column that I've seen before include "Upright support" , "Nelson's supporter?" , "Vertical division of page" , "Vertical structure" , "Body of troops" .)
