Relative catching cold -- might acrobat have one? (8)
I believe the answer is:
unicycle
'might acrobat have one?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'relative catching cold' is the wordplay.
'relative' becomes 'uncle' (uncle is a kind of relative).
'catching' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cold' becomes 'icy' (similar in meaning).
'uncle' enclosing 'icy' is 'UNICYCLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unicycle that I've seen before include "One-wheeled conveyance" , "Transport needing good balance" , "One-wheeled transport" , "One-wheeler" , "equipment for acrobat" .)
