Stay abed? Wrong to cover skin over (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
sleep in
'skin over' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to bodily activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'stay abed? wrong to cover' is the wordplay.
'stay abed?' becomes 'leep' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'wrong' becomes 'sin' (wrong can mean a sin or crime).
'to cover' indicates putting letters inside.
'leep' placed inside 'sin' is 'SLEEP IN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sleep in that I've seen before include "Wake later than intended" , "Get up late" , "Stay late in bed" .)
