Zero preceder NYT Crossword Clue Explanation
The term "NET" is used here in a less obvious way. In this context, "Zero preceder" refers to a situation where "NET" is a term that comes before or is used in the context of zero. This clue uses a play on words to guide the solver toward the answer.
Understanding the Clue:
- Zero Preceder: This phrase might initially seem ambiguous, but it is essentially a play on the word "net." In certain contexts, such as in finance or sports, the term "net" can be used to describe amounts before deductions or in relation to results that are "net" or final. The idea of "zero preceder" here indicates that the answer is a term that can be associated with zero or come before a value is adjusted to zero.
- NET: In finance, the term "net" is used to describe the amount remaining after all deductions (which could include zero or initial amounts). For instance, net income is what remains after all expenses are deducted from gross income. Similarly, in sports, net results can refer to the final score or outcome after considering all factors. Thus, "net" is a term that conceptually fits with the idea of dealing with or preceding zero.
