The kids don't think him abominable (7)
I believe the answer is:
snowman
'the kids don't think him abominable' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'him abominable' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'him' could be 'man' and 'man' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'snow' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snowman that I've seen before include "Icy figure" , "Cold figure" , "English artist" , "Frosty for example" , "wintry figure?" .)
