Modest part of a poet's production (3)
I believe the answer is:
ode
'a poet's production' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'modest part' is the wordplay.
'part' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ODE' can be found hidden inside 'modest'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ode that I've seen before include "Lines" , "Poem expressing noble feelings" , "Sung poem" , "(Railway)system" , "Verse form" .)
