Two overlapping signs for lenders (9)
I believe the answer is:
libraries
This could be a double definition.
'two overlapping signs' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'lenders' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for libraries that I've seen before include "They house books" , "facilities for readers" , "Book depositories" , "Book repositories" , "Reading rooms" .)
