Time Team's creative pursuits (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
the arts
'creative pursuits' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'time team's' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'team' becomes 'hearts' (I've seen this before).
't'+'hearts'='THE ARTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for the arts that I've seen is " Culture".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
