Symbolic form amazingly apt in revamped Homer (8)
I believe the answer is:
metaphor
'symbolic form' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'amazingly apt in revamped homer' is the wordplay.
'amazingly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'revamped' indicates anagramming the letters.
'apt' is an anagram of 'tap'.
'homer' anagrammed gives 'mehor'.
'tap' placed into 'mehor' is 'METAPHOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for metaphor that I've seen before include "To hamper, badly, a figure of speech" , "Figure of speech for home trap" , "Figure of speech - allegory" , "Figure of speech suggesting something really is what it resembles" , "Figure of speech - other map (anag)" .)
