Philip, heard making a sharp movement (6)
I believe the answer is:
fillip
'a sharp movement' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'philip heard' is the wordplay.
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'philip' sounds like 'FILLIP'.
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fillip that I've seen before include "Something adding stimulation" , "Stimulus (sounds like a boy!)" , "Stimulus, quick boost" , "As tonic" , "Encouragement, stimulus" .)
