Wisecrack from prodigy (3)
I believe the answer is:
dig
'wisecrack' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'from prodigy' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'DIG' is hidden in the letters of 'prodigy'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dig that I've seen before include "An informal archeological excavation" , "A brief archeological excavation" , "Maybe break new ground" , "Delve" , "Briefly, an archaeological excavation" .)
