Studies meal components (7)
I believe the answer is:
courses
This could be a double definition.
'studies' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'meal components' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for courses that I've seen before include "training modules" , "Separate dishes in meal" , "starters, perhaps" , "Directions or curricula" , "Series of lessons" .)
