Summer problem of boater, say, catching English butterfly? (10)
I believe the answer is:
heatstroke
'summer problem' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'boater say catching english butterfly?' is the wordplay.
'boater say' becomes 'hat' (boater is a type of hat).
'catching' is an insertion indicator.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'butterfly?' becomes 'stroke' (butterfly stroke is a swimming stroke).
'hat' going around 'e' is 'heat'.
'heat'+'stroke'='HEATSTROKE'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heatstroke that I've seen before include "It may incapacitate" , "Kos at three (anag) - cause of high temperature?" , "Feverish condition" , "holiday upset" , "Complaint from Sun" .)
