Child's toy failing to start? Current required (4)
I believe the answer is:
eddy
'child's' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eddy that I've seen before include "religious leader" , "(Of fluid) circle round" , "Whirlwind" , "Current running against the main stream, causes small whirlpool" , "Ripple" .)
