Without occupation (5)
I believe the answer is:
empty
This might be a double definition.
'without' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'occupation' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for empty that I've seen before include "Containing nothing" , "Unoccupied" , "Void; vacant" , "Evacuate" , "Unfilled" .)
