The late shift? (9)
I believe the answer is:
nightgown
'the late shift?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'late shift?' is the wordplay.
'late' becomes 'night' (I've seen this before).
'shift?' becomes 'gown' (I've seen this before).
'night'+'gown'='NIGHTGOWN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nightgown that I've seen before include "Cover for retirement" , "Dress for bed?" , "Sleeping garment" , "evening wear" , "Garment worn in bed" .)
