Habit, says maid, is tailored to fit (6-4)
I believe the answer is:
custom-made
'tailored to fit' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'habit says maid' is the wordplay.
'habit' becomes 'custom' (I've seen this before).
'says' shows a homophone (sound like).
'maid' sounds like 'made'.
'custom'+'made'='CUSTOM-MADE'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for custom-made that I've seen is " Built to order".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
