The skipper's a character! (9)
I believe the answer is:
butterfly
This clue could be a double definition.
'the skipper's' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'a character' 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 butterfly that I've seen before include "Insect; flighty person" , "Beautiful insect and swimming stroke" , "Swimming stroke - sort of net, kiss or screw" , "noted geisha?" , "Lepidopterous insect" .)
