Hands and feet for example (8)
I believe the answer is:
measures
'hands and feet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'example' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'example' could be 'as' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'as' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for measures that I've seen before include "Sizes up" , "Steps" , "Finds the length of" , "Determines the dimensions" , "Ascertains the dimensions" .)
