Boot from the foot of Miss Minola? (5)
I believe the answer is:
skate
'boot' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'from the foot of miss minola?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ska' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skate that I've seen before include "Edible marine fish" , "A ray; slide smoothly" , "Fish; ice shoe" , "Large marine fish" , "Glide on ice; ray" .)
