Jan’s in this women’s team in Italy (6)
I believe the answer is:
winter
'jan's' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'women's team in italy' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
'team in italy' becomes 'inter' (Inter Milan, Italian football team).
'w'+'inter'='WINTER'
'in this' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for winter that I've seen before include "Coldest season" , "'Now is the . . . . . . of our discontent' (Richard III)" , "Cold season" , "Time for mittens and scarves?" , "'If . . . . . . comes, can spring be far behind?'" .)
