Use ice skates among the Eskimos (4)
I believe the answer is:
skim
'use ice skates' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'among the eskimos' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates a hidden word.
'SKIM' can be found hidden inside 'eskimos'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skim that I've seen before include "Remove floating matter from surface" , "Read cursorily" , "Bounce (a stone) over water" , "Pass swiftly and lightly over the surface" , "Move lightly over a surface" .)
