Grinds, sounding like sheltered waterways (6)
I believe the answer is:
creaks
'grinds sounding like sheltered waterways' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for creaks that I've seen is " Makes sound like old floorboard".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
