Bachelor with hard bit broken from basin in garden (8)
I believe the answer is:
birdbath
'basin in garden' is the definition.
'birdbath' can be an answer for 'basin' (birdbath is a kind of basin). I'm unsure of the 'in garden' bit.
'bachelor with hard bit broken' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'B' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'hard'+'bit'='hardbit'
'hardbit' is an anagram of 'irdbath'.
'b'+'irdbath'='BIRDBATH'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for birdbath that I've seen before include "small pool" , "Garden feature holding water" , "Provision in garden for avian ablutions" , "Item to attract garden visitors" , "Ornamental outdoor basin -- bad birth (anag)" .)
