This Ringo hit captured a spirit (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
snare drum
'this ringo hit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'captured a spirit' is the wordplay.
'captured' becomes 'snared' (snaring is a kind of capturing).
'a spirit' becomes 'rum' (alcoholic spirit).
'snared'+'rum'='SNARE-DRUM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snare drum that I've seen before include "one's beaten" , "One may produce a rattling sound" , "instrument in kitchen" , "item in kitchen?" , "one that gets beaten!" .)
