'does it blow kisses?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'does it blow' is the wordplay.
'does it' becomes 'cross' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'blow' becomes 'wind'.
'cross'+'wind'='CROSSWIND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for crosswind that I've seen is " it may force you out of your way".)
