Bavarian man addressed in empty creamery might possibly be stoned (6)
I believe the answer is:
cherry
'stoned' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'bavarian man addressed in empty creamery might possibly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'man' could be 'herr' (Herr is an example) and 'herr' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cherry that I've seen before include "Stone fruit - shade of red" , "Small red stone-fruit from tree" , "Small succulent red stone-fruit" , "Deep red like small round fruit" , "new ball?" .)
