Bound to have married during relationship in October down under? (10)
I believe the answer is:
springtime
'october down under?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'bound to have married during relationship' is the wordplay.
'bound' becomes 'spring' (both can mean to leap).
'to have' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'married' becomes 'm' (abbreviation, e.g. in genealogy).
'during' indicates putting letters inside.
'relationship' becomes 'tie' (tie is a kind of relationship).
'm' going within 'tie' is 'time'.
'spring'+'time'='SPRINGTIME'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for springtime that I've seen before include "era of promise" , "Growing season" , "When trees are budding" , "Season loved by lovers" .)
