Actor to rhyme 'dissolute' and 'fruit' (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
cherry tomato
'fruit' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'actor to rhyme dissolute' is the wordplay.
'dissolute' indicates an anagram.
'actor'+'to'+'rhyme'='actortorhyme'
'actortorhyme' anagrammed gives 'CHERRY TOMATO'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for cherry tomato that I've seen is " Small red fruit".)
