Plough-jogger capriciously holds back a good day's work? (4)
I believe the answer is:
acre
'a good day's work?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'plough-jogger capriciously holds back' is the wordplay.
'holds' indicates a hidden word.
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'erca' can be found hidden inside 'plough jogger capriciously'.
'erca' in reverse letter order is 'ACRE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for acre that I've seen before include "amount of land" , "A state of W Brazil" , "Imperial land measure" , "Not a lot of land" , "Care about the piece of land" .)
