Five frozen confections leading to bad habits
I believe the answer is:
vices
'bad habits' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'five frozen confections leading' is the wordplay.
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'frozen confections' becomes 'ices' (I have seen 'Cold confections ' mean 'ices' so perhaps 'confections' could also mean 'ices'. I am not sure about the 'frozen' bit.).
'leading' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'v'+'ices'='VICES'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vices that I've seen before include "Sins or depravities" , "Shortcomings" , "Moral weaknesses and holding devices" , "Moral faults or bad habits" .)
