| 5429 | Factory to factor, say, estimate into counter top? (6) | Definition part: "Factory to factor, say" (to de-tail something is to remove the tail, i.e. the last letter. For instance, the last letter of the word "factory" is "Y"; removing this creates the new word "factor". The word "say" is used synonymously to "for example", to suggest that this is one example of a general operation.) ? is added because it is a slightly questionable/nonconventional definition. Estimate = ETA (as in "estimated time of arrival") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_time_of_arrival top = LID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lid counter [top (LID)] = DIL (counter is reversal indicator; reversal of LID) [estimate (ETA)] into [counter top (DIL)] = D(ETA)IL (X into Y is a container indicator; put ETA into DIL, without rearranging the letters) |
