Crying as a result of little noise? (7)
I believe the answer is:
weeping
'crying' is the definition.
(I know that crying can be written as weeping)
'little noise?' is the wordplay.
'little' becomes 'wee' (similar in meaning).
'noise?' becomes 'ping' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'wee'+'ping'='WEEPING'
'as a result of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for weeping that I've seen before include "Doleful" , "Lachrymose" , "Crying" , "Shedding tears" .)
