A unit of sound intensity for victim of cane, say (4)
I believe the answer is:
abel
'victim of cane say' is the definition.
'abel' can be an answer for 'victim' (murder victim in the Bible). I am unsure of the 'of cane say' bit.
'a unit of sound intensity' is the wordplay.
'unit of sound intensity' becomes 'bel' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'bel'='ABEL'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abel that I've seen before include "One man was murdered" , "The first recorded murder victim" , "The first known murder victim" , "Cain's victim; - Magwitch (Great Expectations)" , "fellow killed by brother" .)
