Almost make out with sailor that's so sweet (6)
I believe the answer is:
nectar
'so sweet' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'almost make out with sailor' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'sailor' could be 'tar' (slang term for a sailor) and 'tar' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'nec' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'that's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nectar that I've seen before include "Fluid secreted by flowers" , "Sweet fluid produced by flowers" , "Social workers collect it" , "Sweet floral secretion" , "That's sweet" .)
