Foveal

Dear Ironmonger, that is the only word I could come up with but I don't understand why. I know foveal means 'like a depression' and the l belongs to Lounge - but how do you relate it to Nick? I'd be really grateful for an explanation. Many thanks.
you have reached the same conclusion as myself but I'm sorry I cannot see the connection with Nick
Have just thought about Nick i.e. prison-cell-room I wonder if that means anything
Question Author
We are all racking our brains and have come up with all the meanings of nick - steal, the name, the cell, the tiny dent in a thing (my SRN nurse niece pointed out that the fovea is a nick) but it still doesn't add up. I'll come back to you if I see a link.
Thanks
Looks like COLLAR to me:-

Nick, arrest thus collar
depression - COL
+ initials of 'lounge around room'

Thank you so much - how stupid of us - it is so obvious!
