One’s surly husband’s breaking wind (5)
I believe the answer is:
churl
'one's surly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'husband's breaking wind' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'breaking' indicates putting letters inside.
'wind' becomes 'curl' (curling is a kind of winding).
'h' placed inside 'curl' is 'CHURL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for churl that I've seen before include "Mean-spirited, graceless type" , "Surly type" , "Bad-tempered person" , "Uncouth type" , "Rough, rude type" .)
