Deceived first couple leaving winter transport (4)
I believe the answer is:
sled
'winter transport' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'deceived first couple leaving' is the wordplay.
'first couple' can mean two replacements for 'first'.
'first' suggests taking the first letters.
'first' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'leaving' becomes 'sle' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The first letter of 'deceived' is 'd'.
'd' put after 'sle' is 'SLED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sled that I've seen before include "Snow vehicle" , "American toboggan" , "Winter transport" , "Tray on which to slide" , "Vehicle on runners" .)
