Be done with ice breaking and falling in? (9)
I believe the answer is:
obedience
'falling in?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'be done with ice breaking' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'be'+'done'+'ice'='bedoneice'
'bedoneice' with letters rearranged gives 'OBEDIENCE'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for obedience that I've seen before include "special devotion" , "dog needs such training" , "Being compliant" , "The following of orders" , "Compliance, submission" .)
