A manx cat and dog eating very round fruit? (7)
I believe the answer is:
avocado
'fruit?' is the definition.
(avocado is a kind of fruit)
'a manx cat and dog eating very round' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'dog' could be 'cad' (synonyms) and 'cad' is located in the answer.
'very' could be 'v' (abbreviation) and 'v' is found within the answer.
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'o' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for avocado that I've seen before include "Pulpy fruit" , "Dark green pear-shaped fruit" , "Alligator pear" , "Tropical tree - edible green-skinned fruit" , "Are mostly outspoken party getting" .)
