Fight pretence! (4)
I believe the answer is:
spar
This clue could be a double definition.
'fight' is the first definition.
(I know that spar is a more specific form of box)
'pretence' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spar that I've seen before include "Engage in argument" , "Box (lightly) - fight (verbally)" , "Sticks" , "piece of wood?" , "Box in training - nautical pole" .)
