Weaving together in French town, initially moaning audibly (9)
I believe the answer is:
entwining
'weaving together' is the definition.
'entwining' can be an answer for 'weaving' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'together' bit.
'in french town initially moaning audibly' is the wordplay.
'in french' becomes 'en' ('in' in French).
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'moaning audibly' becomes 'wining' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letter of 'town' is 't'.
'en'+'t'+'wining'='ENTWINING'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
