Curse about temperature change finally from one responding to heat? (7)
I believe the answer is:
sweater
'one responding to heat?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'curse about temperature change finally' is the wordplay.
'curse' becomes 'swear' (synonyms).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'finally' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'change' is 'e'.
't'+'e'='te'
'swear' going around 'te' is 'SWEATER'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweater that I've seen before include "Heavy jersey" , "Jersey may become" , "person in a sauna?" , "Wear" , "Warm garment" .)
