Instrument I have in a case (8)
I believe the answer is:
agentive
'a case' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'instrument i have' is the wordplay.
'instrument' becomes 'agent' (I've seen this before).
'i have' becomes 'I've' (contraction of 'I have').
'agent'+'ive'='AGENTIVE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
