Primitive person’s call on husband to save energy (8)
I believe the answer is:
visigoth
'primitive person's' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'call on husband to save energy' is the wordplay.
'call on' becomes 'visit' (synonyms).
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'to save' indicates putting letters inside.
'energy' becomes 'go' (go can mean energy or enthusiasm).
'visit'+'h'='visith'
'visith' going around 'go' is 'VISIGOTH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for visigoth that I've seen before include "Spanish settler" , "he had a smashing time in Rome" , "European invader" , "Roman Empire invader" , "Old European" .)
