Name abbreviated to half length? (3)
I believe the answer is:
len
'name abbreviated' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'half length?' is the wordplay.
'half' suggests halving the letters.
'length' with half the letters taken is 'LEN''.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for len that I've seen before include "Boy" , "Sir - - Hutton" , "Leonard (dim.)" , "-- Deighton, author" , "- - Hutton, cricketer" .)
