Footwork (8)
I believe the answer is:
pedicure
'footwork' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pedicure that I've seen before include "Care and treatment of the feet and toenails" , "Price due for car of the feet" , "Beauty treatment for the feet" , "cutting out corn etc" , "Cosmetic foot treatment" .)
