Find the word: five clues

Five clues, one common word. Explore 36 new puzzles written for English.

The English puzzles are new. Italian source: Esercizi per tenere in forma la mente, volume two, by Dario De Toffoli and Dario Zaccariotto (Hachette), puzzles on pp. 12–17 and solutions on pp. 18–21.

These puzzles were written for English, not literally translated from the Italian book: its idioms and wordplay would not survive translation.
