I occasionally cook nosh for models (5)
I believe the answer is:
icons
'models' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'i occasionally cook nosh' is the wordplay.
'occasionally' indicates alternate letters (letters taken at regular intervals or occasions).
'cook'+'nosh'='cooknosh'
The alternate letters of 'cooknosh' are 'cons'.
'i'+'cons'='ICONS'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icons that I've seen before include "Sacred paintings or computer screen symbols" , "Screen symbols on 4 across" , "Graphic symbols on computer screens" , "Celebrities" , "Images or statues, or computer screen symbols" .)
