Puff happening — to be one? (6)
I believe the answer is:
dragon
'be one?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'puff happening' is the wordplay.
'puff' becomes 'drag' (synonyms).
'happening' becomes 'on'.
'drag'+'on'='DRAGON'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dragon that I've seen before include "Flying monster of Welsh legend" , "Fire-breathing creature slain by St George" , "Mythical fire-breather" , "battleaxe" , "particularly intimidating woman" .)
