Who finds total season? (6)
I believe the answer is:
summer
'season?' is the definition.
(summer is a season)
'who finds total' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'total' could be 'sum' (synonyms) and 'sum' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mer' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for summer that I've seen before include "peak period?" , "One making the whole" , "'Oh, the ...time is comin', and the leaves are sweetly bloomin'' (song)" , "Warmest season" , "could be described as Indian" .)
