if something is elastic, it extends.

list can also mean to tilt, especially on a boat.

But why lists - plural . Also why property ?

The property of something is something it posseses. Like a mirror has a reflective property.

A rubber band has an elastic property.

thanks.

Any idea why the other clue wasn't just 'list of a list' ?
