One on hand to deal with cold weather? (6)
I believe the answer is:
mitten
'deal with cold weather?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'one on hand' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'en' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'hand' becomes 'mitt' ('mitt' can be a synonym of 'hand').
'en' put after 'mitt' is 'MITTEN'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mitten that I've seen before include "Fingerless glove" , "A glove with no partitions for fingers" , "Glove with no partition between fingers" , "Simple glove" , "boxing glove" .)
