Startin' to show what the freight is in (7)
I believe the answer is:
transit
'in' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'startin' to show what the freight' is the wordplay.
'startin' anagrams to 'TRANSIT'.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for transit that I've seen before include "Conveyance of goods or people - tin star (anag)" , "Movement from place to place" , "The process of going or conveying" , "Change" , "The act of carrying from one place to another" .)
