Trustees reach out, finding valuable hidden store (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
treasure chest
'valuable hidden store' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'trustees reach out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'trustees'+'reach'='trusteesreach'
'trusteesreach' with letters rearranged gives 'TREASURE-CHEST'.
'finding' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for treasure chest that I've seen before include "Box holding items of great value" , "source of wealth" , "Repository of wealth" , "Pirate cargo" , "Hoard of valuables" .)
