Smash several pots on a table? (5)
I believe the answer is:
break
'smash' is the definition.
(I know that smash is a kind of break)
'several pots on a table?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'on' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is found in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for break that I've seen before include "interval between lessons" , "Interrupt; holiday" , "Shatter; interval" , "Holiday; snap" , "Damage - interrupt" .)
