She wove a hair mat (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
mata hari
'she' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'wove a hair mat' is the wordplay.
'wove' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'weaving' mean this (letters weaved together differently)).
'a'+'hair'+'mat'='ahairmat'
'ahairmat' with letters rearranged gives 'MATA HARI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mata hari that I've seen before include "Dutch dancer and spy" , "Seductive female spy" , "Dutch dancer and secret agent, executed in 1917" , "Infamous dancer executed as a German spy" , "Exotic Dutch dancer, executed by the French as a German, 1917" .)
