Something worn after the show, perhaps? (6)
I believe the answer is:
jumper
'show perhaps?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'something worn after' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'something' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'jump' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jumper that I've seen before include "Top" , "Kangaroo and knitted garment" , "Pullover; circuit wire" , "Knitwear - bounder" , "Garment for upper body, or an athletic leaper" .)
