Blooming learner interrupts start of French test (6)
I believe the answer is:
floral
'blooming' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'learner interrupts start of french test' is the wordplay.
'learner' becomes 'l'.
'interrupts' indicates putting letters inside.
'start of' indicates taking the first letters.
'test' becomes 'oral' (oral is a type of examination).
The first letter of 'french' is 'f'.
'f'+'oral'='foral'
'l' inserted into 'foral' is 'FLORAL'.
(Other definitions for floral that I've seen before include "Decorated with blooms" , "Of flowers, like wreath" , "To do with flowers, flowery" , "bouquet" , "Like daffodils" .)
