Uphill struggles for a hundred members? (6)
I believe the answer is:
climbs
'uphill struggles' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'hundred members?' is the wordplay.
'hundred' becomes 'c' (Roman numeral).
'members?' becomes 'limbs' (limb is a kind of member).
'c'+'limbs'='CLIMBS'
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for climbs that I've seen before include "Moves upward gradually" , "Ascends with difficulty" , "Advances" , "Moves upward slowly" , "Ascends, mounts" .)
