Partner felt breath becoming irregular (10)
I believe the answer is:
betterhalf
'irregular' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'partner felt breath' is the wordplay.
'felt breath' anagrams to 'BETTERHALF'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'becoming' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
