'hook?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'leggy type upsets bob' is the wordplay.
'leggy type' becomes 'ten' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'upsets' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'bob' becomes 'nod'.
'nod' written backwards gives 'don'.
'ten'+'don'='TENDON'

Can you help me to learn more?
