Without Leslie's (4)
I believe the answer is:
less
This might be a double definition.
'without' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'leslie's' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for less that I've seen before include "A smaller amount" , "Comparative of 'a little'" , "See 12" , "Wanting" , "more, as they say" .)
