Rang lad about to get honour (7)
I believe the answer is:
garland
'honour' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'rang lad about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'rang'+'lad'='ranglad'
'ranglad' with letters rearranged gives 'GARLAND'.
'to get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for garland that I've seen before include "Decorative wreath" , "Wreath - festoon" , "Blooming prize" , "one who played Dorothy" , "Floral festoon" .)
