Turning up intellectual property chanced on in aspects of music (5)
I believe the answer is:
tempi
'aspects of music' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'turning up intellectual property chanced on' is the wordplay.
'turning up' is a reversal indicator.
'intellectual property' becomes 'ip' (abbreviation).
'chanced on' becomes 'met' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ip'+'met'='ipmet'
'ipmet' backwards is 'TEMPI'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tempi that I've seen before include "Rates" , "Speeds (music)" , "Times" , "Speeds for musicians" , "Speeds, rhythms of musical pieces" .)
