Church with weapons? Lucky things! (6)
I believe the answer is:
charms
'lucky things' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'church with weapons?' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'weapons?' becomes 'arms' ('arm' can be a synonym of 'weapon').
'ch'+'arms'='CHARMS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for charms that I've seen before include "Bewitches" , "Spells or ornaments" , "''Music hath . . . . . . to soothe a savage breast''" , "Enchants" , "Attracts with bracelet ornaments" .)
