Ken is bitten by a tiny red-back at the holiday house (9)
I believe the answer is:
weekender
'the holiday house' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'ken is bitten by a tiny red-back' is the wordplay.
'is bitten by' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'a tiny' becomes 'wee' (I've seen this in another clue).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'red' back-to-front is 'der'.
'wee'+'der'='weeder'
'ken' placed inside 'weeder' is 'WEEKENDER'.
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for weekender that I've seen is " One away from Friday to Monday?".)
