Get angry with brother not working (6)
I believe the answer is:
bridle
'get angry' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'with brother not working' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'brother' becomes 'br' (abbreviation in titles of monks).
'not working' becomes 'idle' (idle means doing no work).
'br' put next to 'idle' is 'BRIDLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bridle that I've seen before include "Check" , "Headgear used to control a horse" , "Bit and reins, etc" , "Part of horse's headgear" , "Show resentment" .)
