"Jaws"? A gripping production!
I believe the answer is:
vice
This could be a double definition.
'jaws?' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'a gripping production' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vice that I've seen before include "Wrong" , "Strong gripper" , "Gripper - sin" , "Gripper -- fault" , "Is the gripping tool evil?" .)
