A top position in ancient Athens (5)
I believe the answer is:
attic
This might be a double definition.
'a top' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'position in ancient athens' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attic that I've seen before include "where high-ups are found?" , "of Greek region" , "Ancient Greek; loft" , "Room inside a building's roof space" , "Room at the top of a house" .)
