An offshoot of Brussels? (6)
I believe the answer is:
sprout
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'an offshoot' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'brussels?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sprout that I've seen before include "Push out new shoots" , "Bud; a type of cabbage" , "Put forth shoots" , "Start growing" , "Spring up like vegetable from Brussels" .)
