Heavy metal style pants will suit husband (6)
I believe the answer is:
thrash
'suit husband' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'heavy metal style pants' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'metal' could be 'th' (Th is an example) and 'th' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rash' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'will' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thrash that I've seen before include "Beat up, batter" , "Best" , "Decisively beat" , "Beat violently" , "Hit hard" .)
