Designer given a degree for artistic work (7)
I believe the answer is:
diorama
'artistic work' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'designer given a degree' is the wordplay.
'designer' becomes 'dior' (dior is a designer brand).
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'degree' becomes 'MA' (Master of Arts is a type of degree).
'dior'+'a'+'ma'='DIORAMA'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diorama that I've seen before include "Exhibition" , "museum feature" , "model of the set" , "Three-dimensional series of pictures representing a scene" , "Three-D scenic model" .)
