With being breathless, one can be amusing (3)
I believe the answer is:
wit
'with being' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wit that I've seen before include "Repartee" , "Maker of clever remarks" , "Clever humour in speech" , "Form of humour" , "Good sense" .)
