Offer follows second skater’s move (6)
I believe the answer is:
mohawk
'offer follows' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'second skater's move' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 'mo' (both are short periods of time).
'skater's move' becomes 'hawk' (move in figure skating).
'mo'+'hawk'='MOHAWK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mohawk that I've seen before include "Iroquoian native" , "Skating step; American Indian" , "American native; skating step" , "American runner" , "Native American tribe" .)
