A bit of cloud in view is pleasant (4)
I believe the answer is:
wisp
'a bit of cloud' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'in view is pleasant' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'WISP' can be found hidden inside 'view is pleasant'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wisp that I've seen before include "Curling bit of smoke, hair, etc" , "Thin girl" , "Small thin bunch/strand (of something)" , "(Smoke) thin plume" , "Stray lock of hair" .)
