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 can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'us?' becomes 'we'.
'ave' put after 'we' is 'WEAVE'.
'is' is the 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" .)
