Program item where Maud madly embraces an officer (7)
I believe the answer is:
agendum
'program item' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'maud madly embraces an officer' is the wordplay.
'madly' indicates an anagram.
'embraces' indicates putting letters inside.
'an officer' becomes 'gen' (abbreviation for general).
'maud' anagrammed gives 'adum'.
'adum' placed around 'gen' is 'AGENDUM'.
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for agendum that I've seen is " item for meeting -".)
