Around mid-morning, this bunch of hair would be suitable for plaiting (7)
I believe the answer is:
pigtail
'around mid-morning this bunch of hair would be suitable for plaiting' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pigtail that I've seen before include "Queue of hair" , "Plaited lock of hair" , "Braid of hair" , "Porcine hair plait" , "Girl's hair style" .)
