Hazel's charming associate (5)
I believe the answer is:
witch
This clue might be a double definition.
'hazel's' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'charming associate' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for witch that I've seen before include "Woman using magic" , "Broomstick riderof children's tales" , "'The Lion, the - - and the Wardrobe'" , "She has bad spells" , "Bad speller!" .)
