Paper opening: ‘Recurrence of habitual responses about universal religious symbol (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
scissor cut
''recurrence of habitual responses about universal religious symbol' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'paper opening' is the wordplay.
'paper' becomes 'scissor' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'opening' becomes 'cut' (cut is a kind of opening).
'scissor'+'cut'='SCISSOR CUT'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
