Wind timepiece up briefly that one’s broken (5)
I believe the answer is:
colic
'wind timepiece up briefly that one's broken' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for colic that I've seen before include "Briefly, officer in charge makes a complaint" , "gut reaction" , "Abdominal pain, especially in infants" , "Gripe" , "Severe stomach pain" .)
