Arboreal half of double act (6)
I believe the answer is:
laurel
This clue might be a double definition.
'arboreal half' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'double act' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for laurel that I've seen before include "Sweet bay tree" , "Stan possibly" , "Oliver Hardy's comedy partner Stan ......" , "generally known not to be hardy" , "plant" .)
