Wherefore people barely go on holiday? (8)
I believe the answer is:
naturism
'go on holiday?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for naturism that I've seen before include "Group nudity" , "Pursuit of nudity" , "letting it all hang out!" , "Nudism" , "outdoor pursuit" .)
