Car laden precariously? Days numbered here! (8)
I believe the answer is:
calendar
'precariously? days numbered here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'car laden' is the wordplay.
'car laden' anagrams to 'CALENDAR'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for calendar that I've seen before include "Table of the days of a year" , "Chart of times" , "system for time management" , "Chart showing months and days" , "Timetable" .)
