Repeated blows bringing one round? (4,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
kiss of life
'round?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'repeated blows bringing one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'li' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'li' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kiss of life that I've seen before include "Emergency resuscitation" , "Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation" , "First aid treatment" , "Artificial respiration" , "first-aid" .)
