Chops given to a wife, one with teeth (7)
I believe the answer is:
hacksaw
'with teeth' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'chops given to a wife one' is the wordplay.
'chops' becomes 'hacks' ('hack' can be a synonym of 'chop').
'given to' says to put letters next to each other.
'a wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'w' put after 'a' is 'aw'.
'hacks'+'aw'='HACKSAW'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hacksaw that I've seen before include "something to cut copper?" , "Blade in a frame under tension" , "Metal cutter" , "Toothed tool for cutting metal" , "means of cutting lead article?" .)
