Sort of kid to get things humming? (5)
I believe the answer is:
whizz
This might be a double definition.
'sort of kid' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'things humming?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'to get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for whizz that I've seen before include "Move rapidly - make hissing sound" , "Zoom" , "Person with great skill" , "Hum - buzz - expert" , "Move quickly" .)
