Tease scribes, taking heart (3)
I believe the answer is:
rib
'heart' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'tease scribes taking' is the wordplay.
'taking' indicates a hidden word (the answer is carried or taken by the clue).
'RIB' is hidden within 'tease scribes'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rib that I've seen before include "Tease (sl.)" , "One of 12 pairs of curved bones" , "structural member" , "Kid" , "that was sacrificed for wife originally" .)
