H for Hook when in Peter Pan? (8)
I believe the answer is:
aspirate
'h' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hook when in peter pan?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hook' could be 'pirate' (pirating is a kind of hooking) and 'pirate' is present in the answer.
'when' could be 'as' (eg 'when I walked' means 'as I walked') and 'as' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aspirate that I've seen before include "inhale" , "Stop" , "First appearance of Hook" , "Sound one's Hs" , "Hook, initially" .)
