Name for favourite hesitation (5)
I believe the answer is:
peter
'name' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'favourite hesitation' is the wordplay.
'favourite' becomes 'pet' (synonyms).
'hesitation' becomes 'er' (sound made while hesitating - um, er).
'pet'+'er'='PETER'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peter that I've seen before include "prison cell" , "Boy's name (maybe blue)" , "One of the Apostles" , "Apostle - saint - first Pope?" , "Boy's name - safe" .)
