A year after duets are composed for a specific time (7)
I believe the answer is:
tuesday
'a specific time' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a year after duets are composed' is the wordplay.
'year' becomes 'y'.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'are composed' indicates an anagram.
'duets' with letters rearranged gives 'tuesd'.
'a'+'y'='ay'
'ay' put after 'tuesd' is 'TUESDAY'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tuesday that I've seen before include "When Grundy was christened" , "Wed after this" , "See 1 down" , "It's martedi in Italian" , "Day for sea duty?" .)
