Dissolve remote tie to fallen star? (9)
I believe the answer is:
meteorite
'star?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'dissolve remote tie to fallen' is the wordplay.
'dissolve' indicates an anagram.
'to fallen' indicates an anagram.
'remote' is an anagram of 'meteor'.
'tie' with letters rearranged gives 'ite'.
'meteor'+'ite'='METEORITE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meteorite that I've seen before include "Lump from space" , "Matter in the solar system that reaches earth" , "Something falling from the sky" , "Piece of fallen star" , "Rock that falls to earth" .)
