Activities in which one has some catching up to do? (8)
I believe the answer is:
pursuits
'activities' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'one has some catching up to do?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'do?' could be 'ut' (synonyms) and 'ut' is found within the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in which' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for pursuits that I've seen is " Occupations or hobbies".)
