Braid is ’eld by us? (5)
I believe the answer is:
weave
'braid' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
''eld by us?' is the wordplay.
''eld' becomes 'ave' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'us?' becomes 'we'.
'ave' put after 'we' is 'WEAVE'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for weave that I've seen before include "Make tapestry - wind in and out" , "Make (fabrics)" , "Make cloth with strands of wool or cotton" , "Combine into a whole" , "Use a loom" .)
