One making lock secure? (7)
I believe the answer is:
hairnet
'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'lock secure?' is the wordplay.
'lock' becomes 'hair'.
'secure?' becomes 'net' ().
'hair'+'net'='HAIRNET'
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hairnet that I've seen before include "Mesh worn over the head" , "Headgear" , "It may keep locks" , "protection overhead" , "It protects locks" .)
