Kept in the freezer? (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
ice-bound
'kept in' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'freezer?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'freezer?' could be 'ice' (something which 'freezes') and 'ice' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bound' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ice-bound that I've seen is " feeling the cold".)
