ibex

'climber of mountains' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'live on one? that's wrong?' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'one?' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'that's wrong?' becomes 'x' (X is used to mark something as incorrect).
'be' put after 'i' is 'ibe'.
'ibe'+'x'='IBEX'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ibex that I've seen before include "Sure-footed climber" , "Mountain goat with long curved horns" , "Wild mountain goat" , "Mountain animal" , "Large-horned wild goat" .)
