Does it get one through a divorce? (12)
I believe the answer is:
perseverance
'does it get one' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'through a divorce?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'through' could be 'per' ('per' can mean through or by means of) and 'per' is found within the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is located in the answer.
'divorce?' could be 'sever' (I've seen this before) and 'sever' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for perseverance that I've seen before include "Tenacity, doggedness" , "Persistence, indefatigability" , "Determination" , "Continuing endeavour" , "It may get you through" .)
