Take off on the breeze here? (8)
I believe the answer is:
airstrip
'here?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'take off on the breeze' is the wordplay.
'take off' becomes 'strip' (stripping is a kind of taking off).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the breeze' becomes 'air' ('air' can be a synonym of 'breeze').
'strip' put after 'air' is 'AIRSTRIP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for airstrip that I've seen before include "Small landing area" , "A plane lands on it" , "possible starting place" , "Small runway" , "essential to a Kennedy" .)
