Like a diseased elm? (5)
I believe the answer is:
dutch
This clue might be a double definition.
'like' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'a diseased elm?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dutch that I've seen before include "partner" , "From Holland" , "Netherlandish language" , "- Auction; - barn" , "go fifty-fifty" .)
