Carrot bachelor covered with cheese (5)
I believe the answer is:
bribe
'carrot' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bachelor covered with cheese' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'covered with' is an insertion indicator.
'cheese' becomes 'brie' (Brie is an example).
'b' placed inside 'brie' is 'BRIBE'.
(Other definitions for bribe that I've seen before include "Illegal incentive" , "Carrot" , "Square" , "Sweetener, back-hander" , "Illegal inducement" .)
