Hill cabins constructed for chaps on foot (10)
I believe the answer is:
chilblains
'chaps on foot' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'hill cabins constructed' is the wordplay.
'constructed' indicates an anagram.
'hill'+'cabins'='hillcabins'
'hillcabins' with letters rearranged gives 'CHILBLAINS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chilblains that I've seen before include "Sores" , "Painful swellings on extremities" , "Inflammation of toes, ears, due to cold" .)
