Minor recipient of honour this evening? (9)
I believe the answer is:
weeknight
'minor recipient of honour this evening?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'minor recipient of honour this evening?' is the wordplay.
'minor' becomes 'wee' (wee can mean small).
'recipient of honour' becomes 'k' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'this evening?' becomes 'night' (I've seen this before).
'wee'+'k'+'night'='WEEKNIGHT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for weeknight that I've seen before include "time to sleep after work" , "End of working day" , "will be wanting an early bedtime then?" , "Bit of time" , "Part of 67 [SENNIGHT]" .)
