X-rays girders (10)
I believe the answer is:
crossbeams
'girders' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'x-rays' is the wordplay.
'x' becomes 'cross' (I've seen this before).
'rays' becomes 'beams' ('beam' can be a synonym of 'ray').
'cross'+'beams'='CROSSBEAMS'
