Way in which to buy a lot? (4)
I believe the answer is:
bulk
'way in which to buy a lot?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'way in which to buy a lot?' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'L' (abbreviation for left).
'in which' becomes 'k' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a lot?' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'a lot of' mean this).
'buy' with its final letter taken off is 'bu'.
'l'+'k'='lk'
'lk' after 'bu' is 'BULK'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bulk that I've seen before include "Amplitude" , "Mass - large quantity" , "Large mass; roughage" , "Greater part" , "Great size; main part" .)
