Design movement to cart sand off lots (4,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
arts and crafts
'design' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'movement to cart sand off lots' is the wordplay.
'movement' indicates anagramming the letters (letters move around).
'off lots' becomes 'rafts' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'off' bit.).
'cart'+'sand'='cartsand'
'cartsand' anagrammed gives 'artsandc'.
'artsandc'+'rafts'='ARTS AND CRAFTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arts and crafts that I've seen before include "movement in design" , "Movement devoted to the creation and decoration by hand of useful objects" .)
