atishoo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sound' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Sound of sneeze' mean 'atishoo' so perhaps 'sound' could also mean 'atishoo')

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for atishoo that I've seen before include "Sound made on expiration" , "hay-fever sufferer may interject this" , "Word to be sneezed at" , "Sudden eruption" , "Sneezing sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
