Women take it easy with fish in scuffle (9)
I believe the answer is:
wrestling
'scuffle' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'women take it easy with fish' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w'.
'take it easy' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fish' becomes 'ling' (ling is a kind of fish).
'w'+'rest'+'ling'='WRESTLING'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wrestling that I've seen before include "Ring fighting" , "Graeco-Roman and freestyle Olympic events" , "event" , "Combat in ring" , "Hand-to-hand grappling" .)
