Top, sweater and mini makes a lasting impression (4)
I believe the answer is:
scar
'a lasting impression' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'top sweater and mini' is the wordplay.
'top' indicates taking the first letters.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'mini' becomes 'car' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The first letter of 'sweater' is 's'.
's'+'car'='SCAR'
'makes' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scar that I've seen before include "Gordale - - , Yorks" , "Mark left by old wound" , "Trace of an old injury" , "Evidence of an old injury" , "Mark from a wound left on the skin" .)
