Borders on having succeeded after one month (6)
I believe the answer is:
aprons
'borders' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'on having succeeded after one month' is the wordplay.
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'succeeded' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'one month' becomes 'apr' (Apr is an example).
'on' next to 's' is 'ons'.
'ons' put after 'apr' is 'APRONS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aprons that I've seen before include "Kithchen garments or airfield areas" , "Paved areas for out-of-use aircraft" , "Kitchen garments for cooks" , "Protective garments for aircraft" , "Paved areas for parking aircraft" .)
