What picks up corpse in the end? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hearse
'what picks up corpse in the end?' is the definition.
I know that both 'corpse' and 'end' relate to this answer.
'picks up corpse in the end?' is the wordplay.
'picks up' becomes 'hears' (hearing is a kind of picking up).
'in the end?' suggests the final letters (I've seen 'in the end' mean this).
The last letter of 'corpse' is 'e'.
'hears'+'e'='HEARSE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hearse that I've seen before include "Undertaker's vehicle" , "Carriage for a coffin" , "Funeral vehicle" , "Carriage for a corpse" , "Vehicle to carry a coffin" .)
