What may protect vehicle at high speed? (8)
I believe the answer is:
carapace
'what may protect' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'vehicle at high speed?' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'at high speed?' becomes 'apace' (I've seen this before).
'car'+'apace'='CARAPACE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carapace that I've seen before include "soft top? Hardly" , "Firm covering" , "Hard thick shell of some creatures" , "Crab's thick protective shield" , "Hard outer covering of some animals" .)
