Enlightenment for a Los Angeles politician? (4)
I believe the answer is:
lamp
'enlightenment' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'los angeles politician?' is the wordplay.
'los angeles' becomes 'LA' (abbreviation).
'politician?' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'la'+'mp'='LAMP'
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lamp that I've seen before include "Table light" , "Clout" , "Appliance producing light" , "Device for giving light on palm" , "Aladdin's - -" .)
