Chap that will spill the beans (5)
I believe the answer is:
split
This clue could be a double definition.
'chap that' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'spill the beans' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'will' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for split that I've seen before include "Division - divorce" , "shared by a couple?" , "Cut, cleft" , "Break; Croatian city" , "Discontinue a relationship" .)
