Single man sensitive about key household articles (8)
I believe the answer is:
ironware
'key household articles' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'single man sensitive' is the wordplay.
'single' becomes 'I' (I as in one).
'man' becomes 'ron' (man's name).
'sensitive' becomes 'ware' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'i'+'ron'+'ware'='IRONWARE'
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ironware that I've seen before include "Metallic goods" , "For example, pans" , "Category of metal goods" , "Metal objects" , "heavy goods" .)
