Music producer hurt leg and starts to inch carefully away (9)
I believe the answer is:
harmonica
'music producer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'hurt leg and starts to inch carefully away' is the wordplay.
'hurt' becomes 'harm' (synonyms).
'leg' becomes 'on' (cricket term, fielding positions).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'starts to' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'inch carefully away' is 'ica'.
'harm'+'on'+'ica'='HARMONICA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for harmonica that I've seen before include "Harp" , "Small wind instrument" , "It's blown" , "It's played by blowing into holes" , "An alternative mouth-organ" .)
