What one doing a stretch is subjected to? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tension
'one doing a stretch is subjected to?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tension that I've seen before include "Uneasiness" , "A pulling strain" , "Stretched state" , "Intones (anag) - stress" , "Mental or emotional strain" .)
