One of those court matchmakers (3)
I believe the answer is:
set
'court matchmakers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for set that I've seen before include "Put, coagulate" , "Fixed; collection" , "Solidify; group" , "Scenery etc. for a drama" , "Prepared" .)
