Vessel needed twice for the return journey (3)
I believe the answer is:
urn
'vessel' is the definition.
(urn is a kind of vessel)
'twice for the return journey' is the wordplay.
'URN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
'needed' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "Ornamental vessel" , "Large ornamental vase" , "a large vase as for cremation ashes" , "A ceremonial vase as for human ashes" , "A large vase, perhaps for holding ashes" .)
