Delicate management on ice, typically just a bit (6)
I believe the answer is:
nicety
'delicate management' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'on ice typically just a bit' is the wordplay.
'a bit' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is formed by a bit of the clue).
'NICETY' is hidden within 'on ice typically just'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nicety that I've seen before include "Fine point or subtlety" , "Delicacy" , "Degree of precision" , "Exactitude" , "A detail of etiquette" .)
