One receiving a blow in investing in wine (8)
I believe the answer is:
clarinet
'one receiving a blow' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'investing in wine' is the wordplay.
'investing' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are taken in or invested).
'wine' becomes 'claret' (claret is a kind of wine).
'in' going within 'claret' is 'CLARINET'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clarinet that I've seen before include "23 instrument" , "Instrument in claret, strangely" , "that works off wind" , "It's for playing" , "Blow that!" .)
