Man covers kilometres in random motoring event (4)
I believe the answer is:
skid
'random motoring event' is the 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?
'man covers kilometres' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'sid' (man's name).
'covers' indicates putting letters inside.
'kilometres' becomes 'k'.
'sid' going around 'k' is 'SKID'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skid that I've seen before include "Runner" , "Slither out of control" , "Slide at an angle" , "Swerve out of control" , "Slip out of control" .)
