Old timer's impressive face captivating stout woman (11,5)
I believe the answer is:
grandfather clock
'old' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'timer's impressive face captivating stout woman' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'impressive' could be 'grand' (similar in meaning) and 'grand' is present in the answer.
'face' could be 'clock' (clock face is a kind of face) and 'clock' is present in the answer.
'stout' could be 'fat' (similar in meaning) and 'fat' is found within the answer.
'woman' could be 'her' (her refers to a woman) and 'her' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grandfather clock that I've seen before include "An old-timer?" , "Striker" , "Large timepiece" .)
