Active inclusion of a decorative branchlet (5)
I believe the answer is:
spray
This clue could be a double definition.
'active' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'inclusion of a decorative branchlet' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spray that I've seen before include "Cloud of flying drops" , "Cloud of flying droplets" , "small bouquet of flowers" , "Sprinkle water on - a small bouquet" , "Aerosol efflux" .)
