Time when the hands come together (6)
I believe the answer is:
twelve
'together' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twelve that I've seen before include "houses in a year?" , "[MIDNIGHT], perhaps" , "Number of Apostles" , "Last hour" , "Lunchtime" .)
