Peevish remark I made (9)
I believe the answer is:
crossword
'i made' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'peevish remark' is the wordplay.
'peevish' becomes 'cross' (I've seen this in another clue).
'remark' becomes 'word' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cross'+'word'='CROSSWORD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crossword that I've seen before include "Cruciverbal test" , "Puzzle with squares" , "See 8, 20 ac, 1, 15 dn" , "Puzzle like this one" , "(Usually) black and white puzzle" .)
