'has he winning ways?' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'he winning ways?' is the wordplay.
'he' becomes 'Vic' (short for Victor).
'winning ways?' becomes 'tor' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'vic'+'tor'='VICTOR'

Can you help me to learn more?
