Word for doctor in same dictionary (5)
I believe the answer is:
medic
'word for doctor' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'in same dictionary' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'MEDIC' is hidden in the letters of 'same dictionary'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for medic that I've seen before include "Physician (informal)" , "He may offer treatment" , "Word for 'doctor'" , "Health worker" , "Eg, doctor" .)
