Might he be short with his wife? (5)
I believe the answer is:
hubby
This could be a double definition.
'might he' is the first definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'short with his wife?' is the second definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hubby that I've seen before include "Spouse" , "Male partner" .)
