Go from a girl - Bond's boss (3)
I believe the answer is:
vim
'go' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'a girl bond's boss' is the wordplay.
'a girl' becomes 'Vi' (short for Violet).
'bond's boss' becomes 'm' (M is the head of MI6 in the James Bond series).
'vi'+'m'='VIM'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vim that I've seen before include "Liveliness" , "Energy and vigour" , "Energy, enthusiasm" , "Pizazz" , "Pep and energy" .)
