Ethan's coat put on back-to-front? (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
end on
'back-to-front?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'ethan's coat put on' is the wordplay.
'coat' means to remove the middle letters (only the letters which coat the word are used).
'put on' becomes 'don' (as in donning or putting on an item of clothing).
'ethan' with its centre taken out is 'en'.
'en'+'don'='END-ON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for end on that I've seen before include "pointing away" , "With one side or the other towards the observer" , "lengthy perspective" , "With one side pointing towards the front" , "facing extremity" .)
