Breaks up when one removes the hoop? (8)
I believe the answer is:
disbands
'breaks up' is the definition.
(disbanding is a kind of breaking up)
'one removes the hoop?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
