Interrupting war for a weekend in love, is a simple matter (8)
I believe the answer is:
walkover
'a simple matter' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'interrupting war for a weekend in love' is the wordplay.
'interrupting' indicates putting letters inside.
'war for' becomes 'wr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'weekend' becomes 'k' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'k' put within 'love' is 'lkove'.
'a'+'lkove'='alkove'
'wr' placed around 'alkove' is 'WALKOVER'.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for walkover that I've seen before include "Unopposed victory" , "Easy victory of ambulant sort?" , "An easy victory - opponent dropped out" , "Uncontested race" , "An easy victory - stroll across" .)
