Where the plug goes for a receiver (6)
I believe the answer is:
socket
This clue might be a double definition.
'where the plug goes' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'receiver' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for socket that I've seen before include "Electricity point" , "Cavity for a plug" , "Receptacle where something is inserted" , "Light bulb holder" , "Plug hole?" .)
