Touching melody on piano, more than a tune? (6)
I believe the answer is:
repair
'a tune?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'touching melody on piano more' is the wordplay.
'touching' becomes 're' (both can mean concerning or relating to).
'melody' becomes 'air' (air can mean a tune or melody).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'piano' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation).
'more' says to put letters next to each other (some letters added to the previous ones).
'air' after 'p' is 'pair'.
're'+'pair'='REPAIR'
'than' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repair that I've seen before include "Restore to good order" , "Restore to working order" , "Fix, mend" , "Withdraw" , "Maintain" .)
