Put it in eyeshade with dropper in? (7)
I believe the answer is:
visitor
'put' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'it in eyeshade with dropper in?' is the wordplay.
'it' becomes ''t' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'eyeshade' becomes 'visor' (synonyms).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'dropper in?' becomes 'i' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
't' going within 'visor' is 'vistor'.
'vistor' enclosing 'i' is 'VISITOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for visitor that I've seen before include "Company" , "who might stay?" , "Guest - tourist" , "One coming to call" , "Someone calling (again at 23?)" .)
