Taking a break with possibly avionic tang (11)
I believe the answer is:
vacationing
'taking a break' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are present participle verbs, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'possibly avionic tang' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'avionic'+'tang'='avionictang'
'avionictang' anagrammed gives 'VACATIONING'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
