A footsore nut dropping from an oak tree? (5)
I believe the answer is:
acorn
This could be a double definition.
'a footsore nut' is the first definition.
'acorn' can be an answer for 'nut' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'a footsore' bit.
'dropping from an oak tree?' is the second definition.
I know that 'oak' relates to this answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for acorn that I've seen before include "Nut of oak tree" , "From which a tall tree may grow" , "from which something bigger may develop" , "From which a "tall oak" may grow" , "Might source" .)
