Acrobatic performer making kids very excited (8)
I believe the answer is:
skydiver
'acrobatic performer' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'kids very excited' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'kids'+'very'='kidsvery'
'kidsvery' anagrammed gives 'SKYDIVER'.
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skydiver that I've seen before include "one's taken off to get in position" , "Aerial jumper" , "I jump out of planes" , "Person who performs acrobatics in upper air before opening parachute" , "Acrobatic parachutist" .)
