Choice of potherbs (5)
I believe the answer is:
other
'choice' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'of potherbs' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'OTHER' is hidden within 'potherbs'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for other that I've seen before include "Different (from those mentioned)" , "Alternative of two" , "Different, disparate" , "Second" , "Alternative - unrelated" .)
