Video camera fails to capture dove across the pond? (7)
I believe the answer is:
america
'pond?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for america that I've seen before include "Camera I used in New World" , "'Country named after Vespucci, Italian navigator (7)'" , "Continent named after Vespucci" , "The US" , "Take care and aim for the continent" .)
