Vera or city? (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
half-truth
This clue might be a double definition.
'vera' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'city?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for half-truth that I've seen before include "Statement that is only 50% accurate" , "Mild deception" , "Statement intended to mislead" , "Statement conveying only part of the situation - 50% retained" .)
