Touchy-feely part before news article? (7)
I believe the answer is:
antenna
'touchy-feely part' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'before news article?' is the wordplay.
'before' becomes 'ante' (prefix meaning 'before').
'news' becomes 'nn' (n is common abbrev for new, news can be plural).
'article?' becomes 'a' (English indefinite article).
'ante'+'nn'+'a'='ANTENNA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antenna that I've seen before include "Radio aerial" , "sensitive feeler" , "Transmitting aerial" , "could send out a message" , "Insect's feeler" .)
