Can she halve the work for her husband? (5)
I believe the answer is:
woman
'can she halve the' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'work for her husband?' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'w' (physics abbreviation).
'for her' becomes 'o' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'husband?' becomes 'man' (I've seen this in other clues).
'w'+'o'+'man'='WOMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for woman that I've seen before include "person not going on stag-night" , "Lady" , "With 1a [OLD], one's rather timid" , "With 1a [NEW] a freedom fighter" , "Adult female" .)
