Can king returning create cohesion? (4)
I believe the answer is:
knit
'cohesion?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'can king returning' is the wordplay.
'can' becomes 'tin' (both are metal containers).
'king' becomes 'K' (abbreviation for king in chess).
'returning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'tin'+'k'='tink'
'tink' back-to-front is 'KNIT'.
'create' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knit that I've seen before include "Make woollen objects" , "Cause to unite" , "Make a sweater, maybe" , "Unite together" , "Make a scarf, say" .)
