Who hangs a brace? (9)
I believe the answer is:
suspender
'a brace?' is the definition.
(I know that brace can be written as suspender)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for suspender that I've seen before include "One responsible for hold-up" , "Stocking-holding strap" , "Supporter" , "hangman?" , "Strap to hold up a stocking" .)
