Three go into a bar for a waltz (8)
I believe the answer is:
crotchet
'a waltz' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'three go into a bar' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'bar' could be 't' (T-bar is a part of a ski lift) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'crochet' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crotchet that I've seen before include "Fancy" , "Quarter of a semibreve" , "Musical note equal to half a minim" , "perverse notion" , "In music, it has quarter the time value of a whole note" .)
