At which to stand without attention? (4)
I believe the answer is:
ease
This clue could be a double definition.
'at which to stand without' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'attention?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ease that I've seen before include "Relieve or slacken" , "Soothe" , "Freedom from pain or anxiety" , "Freedom from discomfort or anxiety" , "Freedom from hardship" .)
