Doctor pursuing love on holiday (9)
I believe the answer is:
honeymoon
'holiday' is the definition.
(I know that honeymoon is a type of holiday)
'doctor pursuing love on' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'doctor' could be 'mo' (medical officer) and 'mo' is found within the answer.
'love' could be 'honey' (synonyms) and 'honey' is found within the answer.
'on' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for honeymoon that I've seen before include "Holiday just for two?" , "Post-nuptial holiday" , "Post-matrimonial holiday" , "Holiday of a newly married couple" , "Newlyweds' holiday" .)
