Rowers go under multiple times (9)
I believe the answer is:
eightfold
'rowers go under multiple times' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'rowers go under' is the wordplay.
'rowers' becomes 'eight' (eight can mean a crew of eight rowers).
'go under' becomes 'fold' (I've seen this in another clue).
'eight'+'fold'='EIGHTFOLD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for eightfold that I've seen is " Size of increase".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
