Could it hamper making a better rhyme? (6)
I believe the answer is:
fetter
This clue could be a double definition.
'could' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'it hamper making a better rhyme?' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fetter that I've seen before include "Chain or shackle for the ankles" , "Restrain" , "Cuff for the ankle" , "Shackle for ankles or feet" , "Chain or shackle for the ankle" .)
