Breaks up when one removes the hoop? (8)
I believe the answer is:
disbands
'breaks up' is the definition.
(disbanding is a kind of breaking up)
'one removes the hoop?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'when' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
