More benevolent grant made to accommodate English student class (12)
I believe the answer is:
kindergarten
'student class' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'more benevolent grant made to accommodate english' is the wordplay.
'more benevolent' becomes 'kinder' ('kind' can be similar in meaning to 'benevolent').
'made' indicates an anagram.
'to accommodate' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'grant' with letters rearranged gives 'gartn'.
'gartn' placed around 'e' is 'garten'.
'kinder'+'garten'='KINDERGARTEN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kindergarten that I've seen before include "Infant school" , "Playgroup" , "minor institution" , "Hamburger's first class" , "Pre-school institution for little children" .)
