Fix odd bits of opera, making comeback with assistance of the wind (7)
I believe the answer is:
aeolian
'assistance of the wind' is the definition.
'aeolian' can be an answer for 'wind' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'assistance of the' bit.
'fix odd bits of opera making comeback' is the wordplay.
'fix' becomes 'nail' (I've seen this before).
'odd bits of' indicates alternate letters.
'making comeback' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
The alternating letters of 'opera' are 'oea'.
'nail'+'oea'='nailoea'
'nailoea' written backwards gives 'AEOLIAN'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aeolian that I've seen before include "Type of harp, the strings sound when wind passes over them" , "Arising from wind action" , "Relating to wind action" , "Activated by wind" , "Type of harp, using wind" .)
