Inked model catches up and chills out with every second (7)
I believe the answer is:
stencil
'second' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stencil that I've seen before include "It's perforated for ink or paint to pass through" , "Cut out pattern for painting a design" , "decoration? One must be cut out for it" , "Method of decorating" , "means of decoration" .)
