Rapid repair is only temporary (5-3)
I believe the answer is:
quick fix
'only temporary' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'rapid repair' is the wordplay.
'rapid' becomes 'quick' (synonyms).
'repair' becomes 'fix' (synonyms).
'quick'+'fix'='QUICK-FIX'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for quick fix that I've seen before include "Expedient" , "temporary solution" , "no lasting cure" .)
