Heron with tail and tibia broken gets healing treatment (14)
I believe the answer is:
rehabilitation
'healing treatment' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'heron with tail and tibia broken' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tail' after 'tibia' is 'tibiatail'.
'heron' after 'tibiatail' is 'tibiatailheron'.
'tibiatailheron' with letters rearranged gives 'REHABILITATION'.
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rehabilitation that I've seen before include "Restoration to normal life after, eg, illness or addiction" , "being restored to proper state" .)
