The statistician's daughter? (4)
I believe the answer is:
poll
'the statistician's daughter?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for poll that I've seen before include "Head; register of voters" , "Votes cast at an election" , "Number of votes recorded at election" , "head-count" , "one proverbially sick?" .)
