Recognises, we're told, from part of the Identikit (4)
I believe the answer is:
nose
'part of the identikit' is the definition.
'nose' can be an answer for 'part' (nose is a kind of part). I'm not sure about the 'of the identikit' bit.
'recognises we're told' is the wordplay.
'recognises' becomes 'knows' (know can mean to recognise someone).
'we're told' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'knows' sounds like 'NOSE'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nose that I've seen before include "Hooter" , "Olfactory organ" , "Grass" , "Organ of smell" , "Organ of face" .)
