Make a hole in and stuff (5)
I believe the answer is:
drill
This could be a double definition.
'make a hole in' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'stuff' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drill that I've seen before include "DIY tool" , "Exercise by repeated practice - bore" , "it could get boring" , "Put a hole in" , "Stout cotton cloth" .)
