Have a bite while going over every other option (3)
I believe the answer is:
nip
'have a bite while' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'going over every other option' is the wordplay.
'going over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'every other' indicates alternate letters.
The alternate letters of 'option' are 'pin'.
'pin' reversed gives 'NIP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nip that I've seen before include "smart" , "Swift bite" , "Pinch with small drink" , "small draught" , "severe cold" .)
