Household chores for children to do (8)
I believe the answer is:
homework
'do' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for homework that I've seen before include "Work done outside school" , "Preparation before lesson" , "School prep" , "DIY" , "It's done outside school hours" .)
