Wheeze carrying one material for decorating (5)
I believe the answer is:
paint
'material for decorating' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'wheeze carrying one' is the wordplay.
'wheeze' becomes 'pant' (I've seen this in another clue).
'carrying' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'pant' going around 'i' is 'PAINT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paint that I've seen before include "Apply a coat of colour" , "Eg, emulsion or gloss" , "Daub" , "Catch a likeness" , "Be an artist" .)
