Band shortening housework (4)
I believe the answer is:
hoop
This might be a double definition.
'band' is the first definition.
(I know that hoop is a type of band)
'shortening housework' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoop that I've seen before include "Circular band; child's toy" , "Circular band, in basketball, say" , "children's toy" , "Large ring" , "Metal ring for croquet and basketball" .)
