Loves mechanical gadgets (11)
I believe the answer is:
attachments
This clue might be a double definition.
'loves' is the first definition.
(attachment is a kind of love)
'mechanical gadgets' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attachments that I've seen before include "Writs for seizure" , "sent by email" .)
