Source of pointed guidance (5)
I believe the answer is:
arrow
This might be a double definition.
'source' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'pointed guidance' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arrow that I've seen before include "What's shot from a bow" , "Missile with a straight thin shaft" , "One in a quiver" , "Something pointing" , "pointer to the way forward" .)
