Article about events every so often to develop choppers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teethe

'develop choppers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'article about events every so often' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'every so often' indicates alternate letters.
The alternating letters of 'events' are 'eet'.
'the' placed around 'eet' is 'TEETHE'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for teethe that I've seen before include "Grow gnashers!" , "Cut one's first ivories" , "Experience growing pains" , "what babies do?" , "Grow choppers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
