Travelling partition moves when it isn't there (2,1,4)
I believe the answer is:
on a trip
'partition moves when it isn't there' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'travelling' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'travelling' could be 'trip' (trip is a kind of travelling) and 'trip' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
