Obtain diamonds? It’s a breeze (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wind

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a breeze' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'obtain diamonds?' is the wordplay.
'obtain' becomes 'win' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'diamonds?' becomes 'd' (abbreviation in bridge say).
'win'+'d'='WIND'

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wind that I've seen before include "Air-current" , "Gust, e.g." , "Breath; twist" , "Twist or turn (in course)" , "section of orchestra" .)
