A ropy sort of restriction (6)
I believe the answer is:
tether
This might be a double definition.
'a ropy sort' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'restriction' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tether that I've seen before include "Bond" , "Rope to hobble grazing animal" , "Restricting rope, chain" , "Rope to fasten or restrain animal" , "Tie with rope or chain" .)
