Able to be whistled? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tuneful
'able' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tuneful that I've seen before include "Melodious" , "Melodic" , "Euphonious" , "With a pleasing musical sound" , "Euphonic" .)
