At the weekend, introduces new technology that will draw them together (4)
I believe the answer is:
knit
'at the weekend introduces new technology that will draw them together' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'at the weekend introduces new technology' is the wordplay.
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'the weekend' becomes 'k' (I've seen this in other clues).
'introduces' indicates taking the first letters (I've seen 'introduced' mean this).
'technology' becomes 'it' (Information Technology).
The first letter of 'new' is 'n'.
'k'+'n' is 'kn'.
'kn'+'it'='KNIT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knit that I've seen before include "tie" , "Cause to unite" , "Fuse" , "Make stitches?" , "Make woollen objects" .)
