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 quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'an' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
