Stirling letter from Moses (4)
I believe the answer is:
moss
'stirling' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'letter from moses' is the wordplay.
'letter' becomes 'e'.
'from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'moses' with 'e' taken away is 'MOSS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moss that I've seen before include "Low-growing plant" , "Small plants growing as thick mat" , "Small flowerless green plant without proper roots" , "Plant(s) not wanted on lawns" , "Shape of pointed arch" .)
