Choice trimmed feathers? (4)
I believe the answer is:
plum
This clue could be a double definition.
'choice' is the first definition.
(both can mean excellent)
'trimmed feathers?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plum that I've seen before include "superior kind?" , "Oval fruit with single hard stone" , "Lump of fruit" , "Prize" , "Damson-like fruit" .)
