One playing a two-leg match? (6)
I believe the answer is:
eleven
This could be a double definition.
'one playing a two-leg' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'match?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eleven that I've seen before include "Time for the mid-morning tea break?" , "Number killed in the Peterloo massacre" , "Smallest positive three-syllable integer" , "Football team; number" , "XI as Roman numeral" .)
