Mixture of table salt to nuts ultimately significant? (4,3,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
last but not least
'ultimately significant?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'mixture of table salt to nuts' is the wordplay.
'mixture of' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'table'+'salt'+'to'+'nuts'='tablesalttonuts'
'tablesalttonuts' is an anagram of 'LAST BUT NOT LEAST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for last but not least that I've seen before include "Finally, encouragingly" , "arranged in ascending order of height?" , "Something not to be overlooked" , "Consoling assessment" , "still worth a mention?" .)
