May chores bring about release of ultimately problematic tendency? (6-8)
I believe the answer is:
spring-cleaning
'may chores' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'about release of ultimately problematic tendency?' is the wordplay.
'about release' becomes 'spring' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'of ultimately' says to take the final letters (I've seen 'ultimately' mean this).
'tendency?' becomes 'leaning' ('leaning' can be a synonym of 'tendency').
The final letter of 'problematic' is 'c'.
'spring'+'c'+'leaning'='SPRING-CLEANING'
'bring' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spring-cleaning that I've seen before include "Seasonal household activity" , "Seasonal domestic activity" .)
