What lovers might do to be closely connected? (2,4,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
go hand in hand
'what lovers might do' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'be closely connected?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'be' could be 'go' (going is a kind of being) and 'go' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'handinhand' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for go hand in hand that I've seen before include "show mutual affection?" , "Proceed in joint operation" .)
