Break up as having fight, ending in divorce (5)
I believe the answer is:
pause
This clue could be a double definition.
'break up' is the first definition.
(I know that pause is a more specific form of break up)
'fight ending in divorce' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'as having' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pause that I've seen before include "Stoppage" , "Temporary stop or hesitation" , "Stop briefly, take ten" , "Short break" , "Temporary inactivity" .)
