Wife playing pelota or game of pool? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
water polo
'game of pool?' is the definition.
'water polo' can be an answer for 'game' (water polo is a kind of game). I'm unsure of the 'of pool?' bit.
'wife playing pelota or' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pelota'+'or'='pelotaor'
'pelotaor' with letters rearranged gives 'aterpolo'.
'w'+'aterpolo'='WATER-POLO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for water polo that I've seen before include "Game played by swimming teams with large ball" , "Team sport played in a swimming pool" , "Sport for swimmers" , "Game played by teams of swimmers with large ball" , "Team sport with wet participants" .)
