Letters sent abroad by a politician, way lighter (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
street lamp
'way lighter' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'letters sent abroad by a politician' is the wordplay.
'sent' indicates an anagram (send can mean to excite or stimulate).
'abroad' becomes 'a' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'a politician' becomes 'mp'.
'letters' is an anagram of 'streetl'.
'streetl'+'a'+'mp'='STREET LAMP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for street lamp that I've seen before include "Illumination on post" , "Wayside light" , "Glare coming from this" , "Pavement illuminator" .)
